Don't punish them, that will make them stressed and maybe be more mouthy or disrespectful. Try talking to them nicely. If they still don't improve, try going to a counselor.

Set a good example. Treat them with respect and caring. Don't be mouthy and disrespectful yourself, not just with them but out in public and with your partner. It may take awhile, but they will feel bad if you are treating them with respect and they answer disrespectfully. I know a mother and father who swear at their children, call them assholes and are impatient with them when they make mistakes. Guess what? they wonder why their children act strangely and mirror this behavior.
