Answer 1

Ask him where he heard it

Answer 2

I would some what agree with Andy

Premature means it came out of the womb early doesnt stop the brain development and neither does it stop body growth

It just means its not surrounded by body fluit in a placenta

1st...
How old is this child?

2nd...
Worried about what?
He heard it probably on a comedy programme rated for people of all ages not understood it for its full content and though it was cute to say it to people who mean something to him in his life.

However if it wasnt a kids programme then yes you should be worried and you should supervise your child more often if you dont want him to pick these things up
If it was an adult programme (Film rated 18 NON porn) then you shouldnt be viewing them when children are around

I know my brother who is 10 I dont put terminator on or films like that, he has no business repeating those words.

All in all it is down to parenting however it is not possible to supervise him all the time specially if out with his mates playing or around his mates house watching tv then you need to trace the source the best way you can and deal with it appropiatly

By either advising not to go in to the house but can play out with his friends, or by advising him to move away from any child using innapropiate language.

I wouldnt say the term he used was innapropiate
As he could be thinking bread and butter is nice and im my momies bread and we go together like son and mother good close friends, bestest friends.

Nothing to worry abt at all

HOWEVER seeking parental advise on the net isnt the best place
and I hear you have several posts on the net.
Not the place hun, Seek medical, parental councilling for these types of questions or ask friends.

but thats my personal opinion and not necessarely those of other members or your self

You ask a question you must be prepared to hear a possitive and a negative reply

Mine may be a positive outlook or negative either way convert what I said to you in a possitive way to move forward

As i say "Even a kick in the *** is still forward movement"

Answer 3

I would tell him that even though it sounds funny, sometimes there are things that aren't appropriate for young children to say and this happens to be one (if he presses, I'd say it's rude or sassy and other grown ups will be offended). Come up with something else that's silly for him to say as an alternative... I'll be a monkey's uncle or hot-diggity-dog or something like similar which he's not heard before. He'll probably accept an alternative if it's goofy enough!

Then find out where he heard it... sadly, probably from a school mate with an older sibiling. I hate it when that happens! :-( If it's a friend you can talk to the parent, but sometimes there's nothing you can do to limit the interaction w/a mouthy kid...maybe tell him if he hears anything else from the kid in the future and isn't sure if it's polite or not to talk to you about it first.

Answer 4

Hi Yelly, I wouldn't worry too much. Kids come up with the strangest things. My five year old watches the simpsons with his teenage brothers, most of it goes over his head but sometimes he repeats a gem. He will pick stuff up from other kids too. I don't think what he said was rude. I think its funny! Don't mind Andy the Asshole. There's nothing wrong or unusual with your questions. You are just a normal family with normal problems. By the way, you Irish? Me too..Co Wexford.

Answer 5

he is abviously repeating something he heard i doubt at his age he knows what it means, ask him were he heard it and ask that person not to speak like that in front of your son and if it was off a tv show dont let him watch it more. I would sit him down and explain that what he said isn't nice so that he understands. I wouldn't worry too much about it but i also wouldn't let it go cause god knows what else he is saying and were or who he will say it to.

Answer 6

He could have heard it in the grocery store for all you know. He may have heard something completely different too. My four year old son is always misquoting things he has heard - not all from television. Usually they remember where they heard it. Just ask him and let his answer be your guide. Try not to overreact, just explain that it's not an appropriate thing to say. Children don't know what is acceptable and unacceptable until we teach them.

Answer 7

Trust me a five year old knows no dirty implications in fact why would you even think and dwell on such stuff. You have a normal five year old would said something funny and you thinking dirty. Having asked my own children i know that your worrying about nothing. In fact worry about your own self. You don't have a dirty child just a over paniced mother.Relax.

Answer 8

I wouldnt worry too much...this is definetly something he heard form TV, nickelodeon shows say LOADS of wierd phrases that arent exactly appropriate! Just dont freak out..cuz then he will realize he can say certain things tha tmake Mommy mad (and continue to do it) and I recommend that from now on when he says things like that calmly ask him where he heard it...then explain that it is not nice and that you dont speak like that

Answer 9

Are you making up all these problems your kids have ????you seem to have a very dysfunctional family life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for all other people read her other problems she is seriously unlucky or seriously twisted??As you said your children were premature 2 of mine were premature son by 5 weeks now at uni to become a teacher daughter 8 weeks straight A student so don't blame it on being premature blame it on the way you are obviously going wrong don't be scared to ask for help if you can't cope..

Answer 10

kids here it on the playground now a days by the older kids, kids know too much now a days from american t.v programmes and soaps! i dont think andy is right by saying your twisted at all! one of the kids in my family say things like that but only cos of tv and school or even in tesco's! so dont worry all kids come out with words they dont know you just need to say to them that it isnt appropriate and dont repeat it cos people might take it the worng way!

Answer 11

I am sure he heard it from TV for either an older kid in the neigborhood. I wouldn't worry too much about, but let him know that its not a very nice phrase.
