My tddler keeps sayin swearwords, when i ask him where he heard it he says school! what should i do?

Answer 1

do NOT give any kind of responce or acknowledgement of his swearing at all. hes doing it to shock you and he will do it all the more if you rise to it.

Answer 2

This might seem very harsh, but my dad use to tell us off and then he would put pepper in our mouths. That worked for me. You could give that a go.

You could also tell the school that he's been saying swearwords, maybe a teacher lashes out or maybe a naughty child. You've got to find the one responsible. If it's a child at school, the teacher should mention something to his parents and get the problem solved.

Your child has now picked up on this bad behaviour, if he doesn't stop saying it, punish him for it. After the first mouth full of pepper, he will never say it again!
Good luck!

Answer 3

Try to let him understand that it is a no, no. Toddlers are like parrots they repeat everything they hear. There's really nothing you can do. You are Mommy and you are the boss. He will grow out of it, because Mommy doesn't do it. Just don't make too much of an issue of it. Just that it's wrong. Remember little ones love any attention they can get. So if this swearing makes you flip out or react a certain way, your child may do it just to get your attention. Negative or positive they only know it is extra attention. When my 14 year old was a toddler, she would break things because she loved the strong response she got from me. Even though it was a big firm "No!" She still wanted that attention. She grew out of that of course, but at that age they want A LOT of attention. And if we don't give enough they look for the negative attention. Some of us find that out the hard way.

Answer 4

Oh good heavens, who cares where he heard it.The fact is kids are going to pick up all sorts of crazy things and it is your job as a parent to teach him diffrently.You need to be very firm a strict when he says these things raise your voice some so he knows you are serious.You tell him we don't say that or thats a nasty word whatever then if you dont spank sit him down for a time out. They always get the first ugly word for free.So they have a chance to find out its not aloud all others after that get them in trouble.
As for the no attention ,ignore aproach if you teach a child that ugly behaviour will get ignored what will happen when they grow up and are thrown in jail.They are stuck wondering how come the judge just didn't ignore it

Answer 5

Other children bring their home life to school. Unfortunately, there are TONS of parents that use a lot of curse words in everyday language, and kids learn from their parents. I don't think it's right to constantly curse and then punish your kids for cursing. The best thing to do is NOT CURSE. If for some reason you just have to use that language, don't do it in front of your children, and don't allow others to talk that way around your kids, either.
Talk to your child's teacher and ask her what she does when she hears the children using bad words. Some teachers completely ignore all kinds of stuff and I think that is ridiculous.
Consider private schooling if you can afford it. Private schools pay a lot more attention to morals and behavior in kids. Public schools just let all the kids go wild.

Answer 6

hi im a nursery worker and specialise with 0 to 5 years and it is probably a more common thing than you think the best thing for you too do is either just ignore your child when there saying the words, or correct them by saying things like dont you mean oh dear or oops its a phase alot of children go through just be patient and im sure your child will respond quicker thenyou think hope this helps.

Answer 7

Ask your son exactly who has been saying the words. If he says friends, you have a problem with the parents. If he says teachers, you have a HUGE problem. Either way, go to the teacher and ask who it is.

As for the person who thought it was bullshit, I was in school at the age of three.

Answer 8

My 3 year old was doing this too, I spoke to the teachers at his school and they advised that I ignore him when he uses these words. This does work as he is doing it for attention and when you ignore him using these words they go away after a few days. Speaking to the teacher is a good source of info for most of these toddler hiccoughs.

Answer 9

Go into school and see his teacher, say you are not happy with his 'new language'. ask your son calmly who is using bad language and say that if you don't say those words neither should he and if he isn't sure of a word that he should ask you to clarify the word, that way he knows that he can ask you without being told off, also say that if a teacher hears the bad words he may get told off

Answer 10

Explain to him that there are some words which are bad, and you don't want to hear them. Dont' make a big fuss about it, but just explain that it upsets you to hear them.

I'd also have a word with the school to see if the 'source' of the words can be found and spoken to.

Answer 11

If you make a fuss he will use this as an attention thing, so ignore it. If it doesn't stop tell him that you don't like them words and have a word with the school. If this doesn't work beat the living sh*t out of the little f*cker and tell him " you f*cking shut your fat f*cking mouth up you little c*nt" and see how he likes it.
