First, avoid using bad words or swearing on his present.
Create a naughty corner in your house.Tell him the purpose of that particular corner and tell him that he doesn't want to be in that corner coz only really naughty people or children will be put in that corner. Also let him know that it is a type of punishment. Let him stay there for 5-10 min standing. Be really strict about this and don't be flexible.I know it may sound cruel but believe me if you want your child to stop swearing, strict is the answer you're looking for. I have a daughter and she's only 6.I can say that I'm lucky coz she never pick up bad words but my son(he's adopted) who's 3 ,boy he's a handful! Dealing with him every day always get me really exhausted. The naughty corner really works for him. Now, not only he stop swearing, he's more polite too.So Good Luck handling your little wonder.

Make sure he's not with people who talk like that, how else did here those words, and be aware of what he is watching on TV, there are some really good shows on the discovery channel, PBS, The Learning Channel, Nick JR. !!! And he will stop saying those words, but just remind him gently that is not appropriate to talk like that. As far as his acting out, look at what he's been eating maybe he is having a reaction to something, if he goes to day care he may be picking up these bad habits from another child. Try to talk to your child in a way that doesn't seem like your questioning him, and ask him things like what did you do today, who did you play with, just very simple questions and maybe that will lead into him telling you something.
I hope I've helped, good luck

Lady, children repeat what they hear. And you just can't "undo" what you've taken 3 years to mess up. You have to change YOUR thinking and language. Telling a 3 year old that he can't go to school unless he stops swearing is like telling a bull not to charge even though you are wearing a red sweater. He won't HEAR you. Children do what we do, they say what we say and act how we teach them to act. He is in his formative years, he's a sponge. Perhaps you can take a few parenting classes (I am NOT saying you are a bad mother) but sometimes others can help us "get a handle" on things.
Good luck.

You should take away something that he likes when he swears. If you don't start right now it's just going to get worse! You don't want him saying bad words when he starts school.

don't pay attention to it,
if you laugh, or give him attention good or bad he will continue to do it..
the problem is when he acts like that he gets the most attention
even if it is bad or you get upset, he get your attention, when he is good you normally don't do anything, because all is good.
that is when you nee d to shower him with attention when he is acting good, like when he sits and watches TV quietly. that's when you go and hug him and tell him he is good.
or when he shows interest in something you are doing, tell him he is great for wanting to learn. if you only pay attention to the bad that all you are going to get.
you need to praise him the most when he is good,
like if he goes to bed on time in the morning have a nice surprise waiting for him, like a big hug or a toy, or just his favorite food.
praise the good and that what you will get back...

Re-evaluate his daily activities who is he around that would influence that type of behavior. Then talk to him about it not being appropriate. If it continues consider some type of disciplinary action spanking or what ever you do but do something before the behavior becomes a permanent one.

Firmly , but calmly, let him know that is not acceptable behavior. If you make a big over-reacting deal out of it, he'll keep it up. Most kids go thru that stage and most of them do outgrow it. Also they are little parrots at that age and repeat what they hear. Look at where he is getting it from, and correct that.

If you don't want him to grow up to be a foul-mouth disrespectful kid, you better start correcting him now, everytime you catch him saying, or doing something wrong.You have to nip it in the bud, not 2-3 years from now.

3 yr olds can only imitate. eliminate the source or the model for the behavior.
