Child Swearing & Cursing
....Good Parenting Article On What To Do!

And its not as though we haven’t heard them before or, even used some of them our self, but when we hear such words come rolling for the sweet lips of our toddler, it brings somewhat a new shock to us.

Our children pick them up in all sorts of places, from school, day care, television, over hearing conversations, in the family home and many other places.

We must do our best to shield our children from hearing this sort of talk in the family home, as we don’t have any control other places.

Sooner or later we are going to hear our children speak with a forked tongue and that is the time when child swearing needs resolving before it becomes embarrassing in front of either friends or family!.

Simply say nothing, and carry on the conversation as though it wasn’t heard by you.

Your child will either think he has got away with it or, he will realize he went to far this time, because your reaction wasn’t instant like other times.

An hour or two later, call your child aside and then have your bit to say, don’t threaten your child, but make it firmly understood quickly and leave the room before explanations begin.

The fact you said nothing to start with, will leave your child with time to think about what he said, and when called aside later he will know exactly why. Nor does it condone what he has said, regardless of the choice of words.

Children that swear in the company of their parents, normally get an on the spot reaction and this leaves the child with another way to gain attention if the others fail.

When our toddler swears its not considered as bad as our five or six year old, the younger child is merely copying from others and has no idea of the meaning of child swearing.

Although your toddler is not aware he is swearing or saying anything bad, but he is aware of the attention he receives when using it.

As for the older child it is serious and must not be allowed to continue, explain to your child there are other ways to let his feelings be known apart from child swearing, with your support and understanding he will do a turn around.

If all else fails, Time Out may be your only break through with getting your child to understand the consequences of his unacceptable use of words.

Use the Time Out action consistently, sooner or later your child will find other ways to get your attention rather than just child swearing.
