I did start this when my son was 7 and yes he did follow me at first but I would lock myself in the bathroom or bed room. At first i would tell him (in a very calm loving voice) that he wasn't aloud to talk to me like that and when he was done I'd be happy to come out and spend time with him and speak with him again. After a few times, I would just be quiet and leave and he would know exactly why. It works!
