My son has just started swearing what should i do?
he started nursery 3 weeks ago
Answers:
Dont make a fuss as he will pick up on this & do it even more as it gets your attention.Try to ignore it....I know..easier said than done.good luck.
Slap him when he swears, ever time, he will soon learn that it is bad!!
bust him dead in the face
Explain that the word is a naughty word, and should not be used . and try ignoring the fact he's using it sometimes, sometimes kids will try and push thr boundarys by saying something they know they shouldn't, if it's not getting a reaction it won't be fun to do.
Ask him if he knows what the word means. Tell him not ot use words he doesn't know the meaning of. Ignore him when he is swearing.
Rinse his mouth out with soap or put hot sauce on his tounge when he swears.
Calmly tell him that we don't use words like that and then say no more about it. He wants a reaction from you so don't give it to him. Also you'll have to stop swearing yourselves as it'll be from you that he picked it up in the first place, so trying to stop it is pointless if he sees you doing it as he'll think.. 'Well mummy and daddy can say those words.. why can't I?' and it'll make him want to do it more.
Alert the nursery management about this and ask them to be on the lookout for that kind of language, and specify that you want your son corrected if he ever says any of it.
And at home, administer the appropriate punishment.
Just have a good talk with him and find out who he is picking it up from.Dont hit the little guy
My daughter went through this faze when she was about 2 or so. I lives with my parents and she would here grandpa so she would mock him. The first few times let him know that those are bad words and he cannot say them. If he still does it ignore him. He will stop saying them. It took my daughter a week.
I learned the more you get upset with them the more they do it. If you just ignore it and don't react, he won't do it anymore. Preschoolers love to get a reaction from you (good or bad) so the more you react, it feeds the fire. Also, be very calm when he does it and in a very calm voice, tell him that you won't listen when he says those words.
surprise him with a smack to the face and tell him I dont EVER want to hear you say that again..Or say.Honey that is not a nice word for you to say so please dont talk like that.and continue hearing the swear words flow.You have to give him a shocker to make sure he remembers it..One smack is all it takes..
You should take him to jail and tell him this is what happens when you swear. That or you should ground him for two days and raise it every time he swears by two days.
Find out where he has learned to swear, and then remove him from the source. Explain to him that he should not be using these words, and punish him when he does.
The best thing to do is to not say those words yourself. .and try to keep your son out of earshot of things you don't want him to repeat. That would include TV Radio.. ad infinitum.
He's a mirror of his world. The best way to influence his behavior is to influence his environment.
Initially tell him the words are not polite or acceptable. Then don't respond to any future outbursts.
when mine started swearing I told them it was a naughty word and if they used it Mummy would not speak to them and they would not have sweeties. They soon got bored. Saying that when I took my daughter aged 3 to have her hair cut - which she did not want to happen she told the hairdresser to f*** off. To say I was embarassed was an understatement. I made her apologise and she sat still and had her hair cut.
Beat the living SH*T outta him!
Tell him that it's very bad to say those things, and you will be very angry if you hear him saying them. Also, would be a good idea to talk to someone in charge at the nursery as he'll naturally pick up on things he hears.
Tell him it's naughty, but if he persists, ignore him. Just been through the same thing with my 2yr old.
Teach him some new words that mean nothing to anyone then tell him not to use the ones he already knows.
How about the good old fashioned remedy - wash his mouth out with soap - - - Forget the responses about slapping etc - that only installs anger - and slapping is not a form of punshment for swearing. Also, sit down with him and explain that swearing is not ice - that it does not make him look cute or cool - good luck mom, I am sure he will be fine -
Ignore him the more fuss you make the more he will do it
hesmust be picking it up from the othere kids at nursery!.this happens but when you do hear him you must tell him its bad .but im afraid its what happens to kids nowadays!
Try something like a reward system like saying that if he doesn't say bad language for a week he'll get a treat. Keep reminding him during the course of the week so he doesn't forget. Ask the nursery teacher every day if he has been swearing. And if he does swear just put tour foot down and say "No treat this week, we'll just have to try again next week." That's what we did when my 5yr old brother was hitting people at school and it cleared it right up. Perservere.
Put him on a naughty chair each time he says it like on the TV program super nanny (or whatever it's called). Tell him that although his friends may use it, it is wrong and will not be spoken by him or in your presence. Just keep giving him time outs until he stops.
I can't belive the advice you are being given.If he swears tell him quietly that it is wrong and naughty and if he does it again you will take his favourite toy off him for a while.Taking toys off my kids always worked and they were well behaved and I didn't need to slap to get my point across.
Please don't listen to anyone who tells you to smack your child. Although I have to admit, I have smacked mine on occasion - though NEVER in the face, only lightly on the bum, it does not work. Smacking just shows that you have lost control of the situation and teaches your child that the way to get want you want is to hit someone. After all, smacking is just a word that adults use to make hitting sound acceptable.
When mine swore, my husband put the tiniest little dot of washing up liquid on their tongue (some people would still consider this abuse, I guess) and none of them ever did it more than twice.
Good luck !
I used a bit of kidology on this one. I told my son that swearing makes the mouth dirty, and sweeties can only be eaten with a clean mouth. He found me out in the end tho, but found it funny. Whaterver way you decide to deal with this one, it's only really a phase, he will get bored with swearing as soon as the shock value wears thin. Good luck!
Ask him if he knows what they mean and then explain that they are very bad. Then go have a talk with the lady at the daycare so she and whomever else works there can be more aware and look out for the language being used. If you notice him looking for a rise out of you after you have explained these things to him, then just ignore him. I did all these things with my 3 boys and they know better than to ever let me catch them saying a bad word.
dissappointment worked for me.coz you keep cool, temper doesnt flair and you can then handle the tantrum or the tears that get us everytime.then when he stops hes rewarded with a happy mum and kids love a happy mum they can wrap them around their little finger.mine still dont swear and if i do they use the dissappointed tone on me.theyre 14n 17now
