how do i get my kid to stop saying naughty words?

Question

this is my 3 year old son and he says this word when hes mad or you tell him something he dont want to hear

Answer 1

don't let your kid hear them. If you say them and your kid hears you they will repeat what you say. Also discipline is a good idea.

Answer 2

Children at this age can pick up these words any where. From you, preschool, head-start, even Sunday school, and they can pick up it from neighbor friends. They have BIG ears and love to repeat. If it's something you have a tendency to say when you least expect it or think he/she is not in ear shot, then be a little more careful. Explain to your child how you don't even like it when you yourself say it and you will try harder to refrain from that word and your child will have to stop too. If you feel he/she has picked the word up from school, then approach the teacher and maybe you two can work something out. Because, if your child has brought it home from school, so has the other children from that class. If you think it could be from neighbor friends, keep peace in the neighborhood and DON'T approach the kids or the parents. Just tell your child WE don't talk that way and you don't want your child to EVER say such words again. If none of this works, and your child continues to repeat naughty words, a bar of light soap lightly scrapped on the front teeth works wonders!! I had to use this as a last resort with my youngest. It worked like a charm.

Answer 3

First off your 3 year old has to be hearing it from some where, I guess, monitor what he is watching on t.v. and who is surronding him. Secondly, when he does something like that let him know that you love him but it really upsets you and hurts your feelings when he/she talks like that. I know the good old fashion way is with soap and that is how our parents more or less raised us. Dont' get me wrong I do believe in a good spanking, but at three years old he/she is testing you.

Another question is have you or someone provoked him against someone else, does he have brothers and sisters encouraging him.

You need to let your child know who is running the show, I personally know it is hard I have a five year old with a very defiant attitude, and I don't give her the opportunitiy to fight me anymore. I just let her sit in her room on her bed with no toys and she is not allowed to come out until she understands why she was sent there in the first place.

Remember that you will find something that works, it is all trial and error.

Best of Luck!

Answer 4

It seems to me that a lot of people are assuming that you're the one he heard the words from ... hopefully that's not the case.

I have four children, and whenever they did something I didn't think was appropriate I would give them a punishment which WAS appropriate to the offence. For example, for saying a naughty word we would talk seriously about what the word means and how nice people don't say those words. Then the child would be sent to his or her room for a few short minutes to think about our talk, then come back out and we'd talk a little more about why some people use naughty words.

I know the child sounds young to be talked to like that, but if you treat them like they're smart enough to understand ... they usually will.

Reasoning works best for healthy children ... not beatings and soap!

Answer 5

Now that your child knows the bad words you need to tell them responsibly that they are bad words and then as a hint I tried positive reinforcement with a bean jar. Every time the child says one you take away a bean at the end of the week set goals for the amount of beans left the better the prize less bad words will be spoken. Then keep changing up the reward nothing huge just a little trinket then each week gradually slack off until they are completely off the bean jar. Just a suggestion, don't say adult words in range of little ears.

Answer 6

Don't make a big deal about it, that is what makes them continue to say it. My daughter went thru this phase when she was younger too. Once I didnt show any emotion over it, she was like oh, that didn't work. Now, if it continues over a long period, then I would worry, but as long as you don't get sucked in by it, they will stop. Don't do the soap thing, I saw a story on tv awhile back where the kid go soap in his mouth and asperated from it.

Answer 7

Your child must be hearing it to repeat such words. One must be careful how you talk around him or any other child. They pick up on words very fast. They don't even know what the words mean at that age, but they know when to use them . So please watch what you say around him. He thinks it is cute so he uses them. Sometimes when people are around and they hear a child use naughty words they chuckle, and that give the child more incentive to to use the words. Good Luck with your child..

Answer 8

you have to punish the child accordingly..and YOU have to control what is said in front of the child. A child learns by imitation. It's not "do as i say not as i do" you have to set the example by not using foul language in front of the child. you could try many different forms of punishment. take away what they like, (and no matter how hard they take a fit, don't give it to them just so that they will stop taking a fit) you have to be the boss..you must be firm..if they scream, tune them out, they'll get over it. sit the child in a time out chair, or have them stand and face the wall for about 15 minutes..as soon as they realize that you are serious, they'll stop. just don't give in or back off if they take a screaming tantrum (or what ever acting out there may be) that's the problem with this world parents give in just to keep the kid quiet..i say let'em scream they will get over it, screaming never hurt anyone, just makes their lungs expand!

Answer 9

dont make a big deal out of it if ur kid is under 4. mostly they just say it because it what they hear and its amazing the reaction he may get when he says the word. i would say make sure noone swears around ur child. and ignore that he says it and eventually he will probably forget the words. i know lots of kids who were swears at a young age and stopped when it was ignored

Answer 10

Yes,did you say naughty words to your kid or your kid learns from the daycare.Kid will imitate adult and they enjoy saying difference things.The parent's are to be firm and concise.Now you have to-sit your kid down and tell him that he has to stop saying unpopular words and if he still doest not comply you will not give him his favorite snack or a trip to McDonald or his favorite PBS show.You are going to take away his privilege one by one.You do not need to time out him yet and do not spank your child unless it is serious.Good luck and I am glad you try to stop him when he is young.

Answer 11

there are many ways:
1- to tell him that is not polite to do so and that you , his family and other people will hate him.
2- if he did not care with 1 u can be more hard saying you will punish him or that devils will appear to him .
3- you can also say to him if you stoop doing that you will get toys sweets , and alot of girls will love u , aguy is a guy even if he is 3 years old . loool.
