my son keep cursing help!?

Question

my six year old son keep saying the b****word. how shounld i stop him from saying it.

Answer 1

I wouldn't spank him for it. My nephew was really bad at saying any cuss word when he was little. When we heard him say one, we would change it around to a silly word to him laugh and also explain to him that he cannot talk like that. He would get TV or video games taken away or even other privileges he had. But you can also start him off with just cheap poker chips and put like 10 in a jar for the week and see if every time he says a bad word he gets one taken away, when he doesn't say bad words you reward him with something like a cheap toy or candy or let him earn all ten for the week and take him somewhere special like McDonald's. The turning cussing into silly words really worked for my nephew and he stopped after a about a week of coming up with silly words that are fun for him to say. Just be creative and come up with some six year old "silly words" for him to say other than the bad ones. The rewards jar really helps too, I know it's kind of bribing him but I bet he will stop after you explain that he shouldn't say them in the first place no matter where he hears it from and let him earn something fun while he's saying the silly words. To this day my nephew is 8 and he still makes up some funny word instead of cussing. Good Luck!

The first thing to do is not to listen to the crazy people telling you to abuse your kid, "whoopin's" will NOT work "soap in the mouth" will NOT work and putting something "spicy" on his tongue is child abuse and against the law.

One, inform him that that words like that are not nice.

Two, find out where he heard it and let that person know to watch their language around your son; however, he could have heard it at school from another kid, in which case you teaching your son that it is not nice may actually be impressed on the other kid by him.

Three, let him know why, give valid reasons why that word should not be used and that you do not want to hear it again.

Four, let him know what punishment he will receive if he does say it again, i.e.- time out

Five, if it is said again make the punishment worse, like grounding from his favorite game or toy for a day, but always let him know what the consequences are every time he says it.

This may take some doing for a few days, but since he is six it will not take as long as a younger child would.

The major key, be consistent, give valid reasons why the language is unacceptable, and let him know the consequences if it happens again.

Answer 3

first thing to do is find out in using a calm easy going meathod to find out where he is hearing this word.
next if needed prevent the child from going to that place .
next just explain to the child that there are some words that are good and some that are bad. as well there are some that are not good or bad.
ask the child if he can tell you examples of each type of word.
when the child lists off the bad words you calmly listen and then inform the child that its not his fault he heard the words . and that you are not angry but the list of bad words he has told you explain that because they are bad rude and show that a person is not really some one that would be respected like the school teacher or the minister or the president or you. . then teach the child the value of good manners. there are many books availble that will assit you with teaching a child what manners he or shie should be aware of at there age.
some take manners as a joke now. but later in life they will learn that there lack of manners has held them back from promontions invitations and all manner of desirealbe things.
i hope this has been of some help to you and your child.

Answer 4

I went through a phase like that in second grade because I thought it was cool. (Or something of that effect... I didn't have much common sense back then!) Tell him that it's a bad word and other people's feelings could get hurt. Other things you could say: "It's not a very nice word." "Every time you say that word, you get a time-out." (Or insert other punishment there.) "If you say that word one more time, Mommy will be very angry with you." Eventually, he'll get the message.

Answer 5

You take you a little switch (the Bible calls this a rod), and switch the backs of his legs a few times, and then tell him why you did it. This works! God knows what He is talking about where raising kids is concerned! Make him get the switch for you. We used to have to go cut one off, and it BETTER be a good one! It will not hurt him, and it will make a lasting impression! Don't listen to the bleeding heart-that-is-abuse idiots out there! If more parents had done as God instructed, there would not be as many people in prison today as there are. Try it, you will not be disappointed, I promise.

Answer 6

first tell him thats not ok and if he does it again u willwash his mouth out with either soap or somting REALLY spicy at first he will be like whatever then u actully do it and say if he ever does that again he will hav to get his mouth washed or spiced for a longer time and if ur saying ANY bad words thats BAD dont do that ur kids think of u as a role model

Answer 7

You stop saying it, and if your not saying it find out who is and stop letting him be around them. Children are hearing it some where because they don't just come up with these words on their own. How do you stop him, basically you let him know that the word is not acceptable. Take away one of his toys when he says it, give him time out do whatever you do on a regular basis when his actions are not acceptable.

Answer 8

First if your son is 4 to 8 u should get a little stick off the tree and whoop him and tell if he ever did it again u will whoop him even harder

Answer 9

He must have heard it from somewhere.
Children repeat what they hear, whether or not it's good or bad.
You have to teach him that it's bad.
Don't laugh because if you or anyone else thinks it's funny, he'll realize he's being cute and it will be that much harder to bust the habit.
Scold him when he does it and assure him that is not how he's supposed to talk.

Answer 10

Wash his mouth out with some soap. It may not stop him from saying it, but he will stop saying it around you...

If that don't work Spank his a$$. Don't listen to this fool. Spanking is a perfectly acceptable way of disciplining. In face studies have shown that kids that were spanked respected their parents more later in life.
