Should i be worried?
my son said something and i dont no if i should worry he is five he said "well butter me up and call me your toast". i no he wouldnt really understand the dirty implications of what he said but i am worried were he wud pick up a sayin like that
Answers:
Ask him where he heard it
I would ask him where he heard it and then explain to him why it's not polite to say expressions like that. Then try to teach him good expressions that he can say to replace the old ones. This will help to transition him away.
I am sure he heard it from TV for either an older kid in the neigborhood. I wouldn't worry too much about, but let him know that its not a very nice phrase.
lol i wouldnt worry im sure he just picked it up from some one its surprising how easily they do that if you are really worried next time he says it dont make a fuss but just ask where he heard it from sure there will b a simple explnation for it,
TV most likely or another child who heard it on tv
does he know anyone from the South?
you should find out who told him. he could have gtten it simply from watching tv.
findout and if it worries you don't let him have that as an influence anmore.
Are you making up all these problems your kids have ?you seem to have a very dysfunctional family life !!!!!!!!!!!
for all other people read her other problems she is seriously unlucky or seriously twisted?As you said your children were premature 2 of mine were premature son by 5 weeks now at uni to become a teacher daughter 8 weeks straight A student so don't blame it on being premature blame it on the way you are obviously going wrong don't be scared to ask for help if you can't cope..
yes, ask him, but don't freak out on him or he might clam up.
I don't think that what he said is necessarily bad.but I can see why you might not want him to repeat it.
probably some kid at school said it, and it sounded neat to him.
he is abviously repeating something he heard i doubt at his age he knows what it means, ask him were he heard it and ask that person not to speak like that in front of your son and if it was off a tv show dont let him watch it more. I would sit him down and explain that what he said isn't nice so that he understands. I wouldn't worry too much about it but i also wouldn't let it go cause god knows what else he is saying and were or who he will say it to.
you need to talk to him and ask him where he get that from and tell him he shouldn't do that because as he grower he will make it a habit doing that.
Give over.
ask him where he got it from ?
my 5 and 1/2 year old came off with boy i look like a hottie hottie hottie when i asked her where she got it from she said off tv .
she had heard it on a cartoon that comes on disney .
so maybe if you cut out alot of his tv time maybe he would stop comming up with things like this
thats what i had to do with daughter and it has helped with some of the things she was saying
i hope i have helped you a little
Just ask him where he herd it from.
Not much else you can do.
lf he says it again, tell him it's not a nice thing to say.
Wow, that is totally harmless. But I would ask him where he heard it from, just in case. But I think you might be slightly over reacting.
i wouldn't worry abut it kids are always coming out with Fraze's that they have heard in the street, on TV or in school. i wouldn't do any thing about it unless he says it again and all i would say to him is that's what mummy's and daddy's say not little boys. all you can do is laugh really coz as they say "out of the mouths of babes"
I Think he has picked it up from some PORN TV CHANELS if you use near him.? Any way Dont worry sister, he's just in his 5th, you can advise him and make him understand ( gently), not to repeat words like that, because such words are impolite.
Cheers.
Trust me a five year old knows no dirty implications in fact why would you even think and dwell on such stuff. You have a normal five year old would said something funny and you thinking dirty. Having asked my own children i know that your worrying about nothing. In fact worry about your own self. You don't have a dirty child just a over paniced mother.Relax.
Hi Yelly, I wouldn't worry too much. Kids come up with the strangest things. My five year old watches the simpsons with his teenage brothers, most of it goes over his head but sometimes he repeats a gem. He will pick stuff up from other kids too. I don't think what he said was rude. I think its funny! Don't mind Andy the Asshole. There's nothing wrong or unusual with your questions. You are just a normal family with normal problems. By the way, you Irish? Me too..Co Wexford.
He could have heard it in the grocery store for all you know. He may have heard something completely different too. My four year old son is always misquoting things he has heard - not all from television. Usually they remember where they heard it. Just ask him and let his answer be your guide. Try not to overreact, just explain that it's not an appropriate thing to say. Children don't know what is acceptable and unacceptable until we teach them.
I would tell him that even though it sounds funny, sometimes there are things that aren't appropriate for young children to say and this happens to be one (if he presses, I'd say it's rude or sassy and other grown ups will be offended). Come up with something else that's silly for him to say as an alternative. I'll be a monkey's uncle or hot-diggity-dog or something like similar which he's not heard before. He'll probably accept an alternative if it's goofy enough!
Then find out where he heard it. sadly, probably from a school mate with an older sibiling. I hate it when that happens! :-( If it's a friend you can talk to the parent, but sometimes there's nothing you can do to limit the interaction w/a mouthy kid.maybe tell him if he hears anything else from the kid in the future and isn't sure if it's polite or not to talk to you about it first.
I wouldnt worry too much.this is definetly something he heard form TV, nickelodeon shows say LOADS of wierd phrases that arent exactly appropriate! Just dont freak out..cuz then he will realize he can say certain things tha tmake Mommy mad (and continue to do it) and I recommend that from now on when he says things like that calmly ask him where he heard it.then explain that it is not nice and that you dont speak like that
It's important for you to ask him where he heard it. Depending on his answer, then you can deal with the situation or relax because it was said in innocence. You would have to determine based on his answer.
I would some what agree with Andy
Premature means it came out of the womb early doesnt stop the brain development and neither does it stop body growth
It just means its not surrounded by body fluit in a placenta
1st.
How old is this child?
2nd.
Worried about what?
He heard it probably on a comedy programme rated for people of all ages not understood it for its full content and though it was cute to say it to people who mean something to him in his life.
However if it wasnt a kids programme then yes you should be worried and you should supervise your child more often if you dont want him to pick these things up
If it was an adult programme (Film rated 18 NON porn) then you shouldnt be viewing them when children are around
I know my brother who is 10 I dont put terminator on or films like that, he has no business repeating those words.
All in all it is down to parenting however it is not possible to supervise him all the time specially if out with his mates playing or around his mates house watching tv then you need to trace the source the best way you can and deal with it appropiatly
By either advising not to go in to the house but can play out with his friends, or by advising him to move away from any child using innapropiate language.
I wouldnt say the term he used was innapropiate
As he could be thinking bread and butter is nice and im my momies bread and we go together like son and mother good close friends, bestest friends.
Nothing to worry abt at all
HOWEVER seeking parental advise on the net isnt the best place
and I hear you have several posts on the net.
Not the place hun, Seek medical, parental councilling for these types of questions or ask friends.
but thats my personal opinion and not necessarely those of other members or your self
You ask a question you must be prepared to hear a possitive and a negative reply
Mine may be a positive outlook or negative either way convert what I said to you in a possitive way to move forward
As i say "Even a kick in the *** is still forward movement"
young children come out with all sorts of sayings, there is no need to worry unless you think there's more to it.
Should you be worried? No! Your son has a good grasp of language, you should be proud.
kids here it on the playground now a days by the older kids, kids know too much now a days from american t.v programmes and soaps! i dont think andy is right by saying your twisted at all! one of the kids in my family say things like that but only cos of tv and school or even in tesco's! so dont worry all kids come out with words they dont know you just need to say to them that it isnt appropriate and dont repeat it cos people might take it the worng way!
I would say ask your child where he heard that from then you can deal with it once you have found out.
