My son decided to use his new found vocab at his occasional care (kindy/daycare) words include shut up, idiot bi**h and f**k.
i received a phone call telling me that they are going to kick him out for saying those words.
they have given me a week to stop him saying them or he cannot go back. Any Suggestions please.

You may be better off finding a new school that will work with him A behavior takes more than a week to correct. Try to refrain from negative words at home and be patient Its just a phase and maybe thats the only way he might be getting attention in school.You cannot blame a four yr old because they are learning new things every day and If the school he is in doesnt know how to deal with it then you want a better school-Professionals should know better and if they are frustrated with your child,How happy could he be with them? Your 4 yr old sounds smarter than they are. good luck

Well for starters stop saying those words around him. He has to be learning it from somewhere. If you aren't the one letting words slip, you need to find out who is. You son is old enough to sit down and tell him that those words are not ok for a little boy to say. Maybe try telling him that he can't go back and see his friends at daycare if he talks like that. But don't expect him to stop in a week. Once kids learn something it takes a long time for them to unlearn it. You might want to start looking into some other day cares. Good luck.

First off, why are you using those words in front of him? As far as he's concerned they are just words he heard you use, so he assumes they are ok to use himself. NEVER NEVER use those words in front of him. Let him know they are bad words and he is not to say them anymore or he will be punished. Remind him that you will no longer use them either.
You may want to start a cuss pot. A jar that you put a $1.00 on everytime you swear in front of your children.

Explain to him why these words are inappropriate. Tell him the consequences if he say those words again and make sure they get the point.
He probably got it from someone in the house, a kid will repeat everything he/she hears!!!
ORRR, you could purchase one of these:

tell him if he says it you will wash his mouth with soap, and then do it. my mother put pepper on my tongue but i liked it and started eating it.
but he will never stop if he still hears it so stop saying it.
