Do they tell you or do they say they don't know? What do you do if they say they don't know?

What do YOU do if they say, "I heard you say it, mommy"?

Kids hear bad words sometimes just from being out and about- they might hear a snippet of bad language on the television as they are passing by a room, or they may hear a frustrated grown-up use cuss words in a store, etc. So I think kids can know a bad word but not be sure exactly where they heard it.
If they heard it from a friend, they may not want to tell you because they think you will make a big deal about it, and in the big picture, bad language really isn't a big deal. Just tell your child that some words aren't for children to say.

Mine usually tells me where she heard it, but if I were you I would just explain that it was a bad word and that you dont wanna hear it anymore. Kids are like sponges, they pick everything up. They could have heard it from Tv, out in public, or anywhere. Just correct them now, so they want be using it in the future. Good luck!

Kids will usually fib about that. You just have to let them know that it is a bad word and you don't want them to use it. Questioing them puts them on the defensive,and they want to protect thier friends. Most times, kids hear those words from adults.

You see, when I was smaller, I would just say, "Nowhere"
Then she would say, "Well, you have to have heard it from somewhere"
So then I would tell her and it was uually one of her little brothers so she would go and yell at them to watch their mouths around me.
I would personally just tell them that they wouldn't get in trouble and that you just want to know where they heard it.
