I have a 13 year old daughter that uses bad language alot how do i get her to stop?

Answer 1

Be very Firm, 13 may be a little old for a spanking, but if i was backed into a corner I would do it. I would say ground her, take away all her favorite stuff, and make her earn it back one by one. Remember a rotten 13 year old turns into a out of control 16 year old, which could be dangerous.
Draw a line in the sand and don't let her cross over.

Answer 2

Means that she lacks respect. She probably picked it up from someone she is close to. Best way to teach a child respcect is to take away things that are not the essentials of life. If you look into child protection laws, it states that all you actually need to provide for a child is a sleeping area (beds are optional.. you can give a blanket and a pillow and set it on the floor) a roof over the head, 3 meals a day, and a change of cloths.. (no designer tags needed) take away tv, or any thing else that she has, and as she starts to show respect, give her more things back.

Answer 3

You need stern discipline. I've come across many parents who don't get the balls to acctually install discipline in they're child's life. If she's cursing at you, it is important for you to make it clear, immediatly, that she is not to talk to you like that, and that you are the parent, without compromise, you must smack her across the face and sternly command respect, explain cursing will not be allowed in the household... the causes for this behavior is influence, if you curse and don't think it will cause harm to your child, you are 100 percent wrong, don't curse around her, and keep cursing (from other people) out of the house (any siblings? relatives?), the next step to get bad language's source out of your daughter's life, is talk to her about her friends, about what they say and what they do, even if you ban her from her fowl mouthed friends, there is no way to keep her away from them in school when your not around, except for getting her word, make her promise not to hang with them, just by promising it they might make it a sacred promise in theyre heart without you even asking then to... by taking bad influences out of they're life. Anger might be another reason for bad behavior, they might be mad at someone or at a certain situation going on in they're life, it's a great idea to get into they're life and be a major part of it, ask her how her day was, don't only show discipline but also show character, and privilige in her everyday, she needs to appreciate everything you do and provide for her.

Answer 4

Explain to her that bad language, or bad words are wrong. That we should be carefull in what we say. And that many words that she could be using are a very filthy way to express our opinion. Tell her also that she will be respected more if she didn't use it as much. And tell her she will have best friends that are really friends, not just people who she wants them to be her friend, or want to get into her bed. Tell her that as her mother, you have the right to tell her to stop. And she had better obey.. consecuences can come later.

Answer 5

My son tried his very very best to pull that when he was 13 also. I think its that 13 is kinda between ages. They want to feel adult like the older kids- and they want to look cool so for some reason they seem to think swearing is cool. Hit her where it hurts! I started taking it out of my sons weekly allowance. When he went from $30 a week to ummmm $1.25 he reallyu started watching his mouth! ITS A MIRACLE!!!

Answer 6

Well, first you have to figure out where she learned these bad words. She obviously gets it from somewhere. Most likey at home. You have to set the example for your children. They don't listen to what you TELL them, they listen to what you ACT like. They copy what they see. They repeat what they hear.
It's like telling your 13 year old while smoking a cig., "Don't smoke b/c you do as I say, not as I do." Pretty crapy.

Answer 7

Let her keep swearing. She will get in trouble eventually somewhere, whether it be a police officer etc. Then she will learn her lesson. I used to swear alot at that age and my parents didn't really mind, eventually i grew up and don't swear at all.

Answer 8

PUNISHMENT!!! and i dont mean grounding either. get u a belt and wear her out wit it. or if she calls u a name just slap her across the face. that should stop it. but if ur not the violent type u could try to talk 2 her.

Answer 9

honest?!?!? I was that age and i got a bar of soap in my mouth and ask me if i said a bad word again??? NOOOOOOOOOO. i think i had it in my mouth for about 3-4 minutes but it felt like a life time.... Good Luck

Answer 10

Tell her if she continues you will no longer acknowledge her presence and follow through. Do not cook, clean, or offer assistance to her until she cleans up her dirty mouth in your home...that is YOUR home she should respect it and you.
