he's probably only acting out what he sees at home.. more than likely not his fault... if he's your cousin, I would talk to him and see what the deal is .. maybe he is dealing with anger from home issues. ... he needs to learn to use his works and make better decisions...

He needs to have consequences at home for using this language. You need to be absolutely consistant, and make it clear that the language is not acceptable. You also need to make sure that if he is picking it up from you or another adult, that you be sensible enough not to curse in front of the child. You are the example as adults. He also needs to have praise for using his manners, and good words. Help him to figure out other ways of expressing anger. I have a difficult time with kids who cuss in my class. I am a fifth grade teacher, and I just want to teach. It's hard when the kids have gone this far, and still have not been taught appropriate behavior. If the teacher is worth her snuff, she will work with you on this problem. Good luck.

Have him seen by a child psychologist before school starts. I would call one asap. They not only look into the roots of the problem, but also develop a behavior plan for the child.
Also, most teachers have some sort of questionnaire to fill out, about your child. This is also in most registration packets. The school, and the teacher need to know this information, so be honest. That way they won't be suprised. Schools do have ways to deal with children like this. Your child may also be referred to the school psychologist.
However, when a child starts school, the peer pressure also makes them more apt to conform and behave. As the other children will more than likely not play with him because of his actions, it could cause him to behave more in school. But, it's best to have the school be prepared.

For the swearing, just ignore him when he uses bad language. Because you're not his mother, you can't really discipline him, so I would suggest having a talk with his mother, and suggesting that she tell him that fighting and swearing is innappropriate behaviour, and that he will be punished for behaving that way. Ask her where she thinks he learned the words from, and suggest that she ask her husband to not use cuss words around him, making sure she does the same. That's all you can really do; just hope that the mother will take this into her hands.

Well, good manners and language starts at home with his mom and dad. If that is what he's learning at home, it's going to show at school. The parents need to step up and help their child with this. It's not only going to cause the child to have problems, but also the parents will be looked at like they don't know how to properly raise their child.

By setting ground rules and setting expectations of the consequences with him, perhaps his behavior will improve. This type of behavior is not something a child is born with. It is learned. Perhaps, teaching by example and taking out the bad examples of the type of behavior you want to encourage will influence his development.

Well he just doing what he see at home and what he can get by with cause trust me if you start whooping him for that and taking away some of his privileges he will get better, just try to keep him away from bad influences,let him continue to hang around kids his age so that he won't grow up as fast

Give him consequences for his actions. He will get them when he goes to school. I would suggest monitoring his television watching. He is either learning this behavior from there or his environment.
