Answer 1

I first of all want to respond to the person who says two-year old children do not benefit from preschool. Sure they do. They learn colors, shapes, sharing, and social skills. It is none of your business where she sends her child. Maybe the father has visitation on the weekends. Mind your business.

Now, on to the issue at hand. I think your son is testing you. He is at that age. Try not to make a huge deal out of what he says. Have you tried telling him that those are not nice words and he should not say them? How about time out? I am not one to quickly resort to soap or spanking. I do not like to do that at all. A lot of times kids will keep doing things that get attention even though it is negative. Try catching him doing something good and compliment him on it. He may just be looking for your attention.

Answer 2

No. He doesn't understand what he is saying. All three of my children have said curse words when they were younger. It is not a common thing to hear a curse word in my home but they managed to pick it up somewhere. I didn't swat or spank my children for saying them. Usually if you pretend you didn't hear it then they will stop. Although... if they continue to say the word(s) then I would explain to him that those words are not nice. Tell him he is nice so he shouldn't say those words. He'll learn and at the same feel proud of himself for not saying such ugly words. Good luck! We've all been there.

Answer 3

he probably does not understand what he is saying and if the people that he hears it from are laughing and giggling like nothing is wrong then he probably thinks that it is very funny and that he is being funny too . tell the family that he is staying with not to say that around your son because he is picking up on it and that he could get in trouble at school for saying it you may have to keep explaining it to him that those words are bad words over and over again before he understands what you are saying and let him know that those words are very very bad words to say and then ask him if he ever hears you or daddy saying them if he says no then say the reason why is because they are bad words kids ecspecially toddlers are notorious for learning by repetition he will get it and soon he will understand you just try to be patient and relax all of us who are parents have been where you are now and believe me there is a light at the end of the tunnel hope this helps

Answer 4

Most kids are very honest and if you ask him where he heard that word or who said it, more then likely he'll tell you. Mention it to your husband that he's starting to curse and ask him if he might know where he's getting it from and ask grandma. The best thing to do with you son is keep up with the taps. After he's calm and not crying explain why you hit him. Tell him i hit you because you said........and i don't like that word and it's not nice to say. And give a warning for the future also. Good luck! P.S. don't feel guilty for discipline your child

Answer 5

Preschool is not good for kids, especially 2 year olds. You don't need to go there to learn colors and numbers, that is beyond ridiculous.

Children learn in the context of their relationship with their mother. Read "The Irreducible Needs of Children" by Drs. Brazleton and Greenspan. Kids need their mothers, not school. Kids are hurt by school this young. Academics for a 2 year old is neglect and abuse of his true needs, which are for his mom, to hang out learning about life and the world with her. Gee, just say - here's your blue shirt and here's a green cup and they have their colors very soon.

All these moms, so little clues about what kids actually need.
no wonder mental illness is skyrocketing in our country.

Answer 6

We went through this with our 4 year old. Instead of physical displine, we went the verbal route. "UMMMMM, you said a bad word!" She got the picture about it being bad and that it shouldn't be used. Now if an adult around her says a curse word, she'll tell them they have a potty mouth and say bad words. It definetely gets people to watch what they say.

Answer 7

He probably doesn't know the meanings of the words, but he knows that he gets a very interesting reaction out of you when he says them. Be very calm, and repeat his sentence using a more appropriate word. Explain that the word he used in not acceptable in your household, and he should say something else. If you make a big production of it, he will continue to use the word just to see the fireworks.

Answer 8

Tell him that the words he are saying are bad and they hurt people feelings and make them cry just like when I tap you I tap you to show you that I love you and I don't want you to hurt anyone feelings so do not say Curse words they are a no no.
Ask him where he here them words trust me he tell you.

Answer 9

A 2 year old is just imitating the words he hears. He doesn't understand the meaning behind the swear words and certainly doesn't understand why you smack him when he says them. Ignore the bad words, reward him when he doesn't repeat them, he should get the message soon enough.

Answer 10

that is okay specifically if hell supply you the money. He needs to learn and detect the female physique. i'm getting playboy the magazine is in comparison to hustler. i think of you will desire to allow him get it and be a funky mom. additionally tell him get playboy specific version that is p.c.. of all women and no articles.
