Parents: help needed

[ashtonlady]

Can you try and make him understand what the word means and when it should be used?

I have a 4yr old boy who had a similar issue. I tried ignoring him, I tried calmly explaining, one day I lost it and whooped his backside. He has never said it since.

Good old fashioned discipline, nothing wrong with it... Some folks my not agree with it but I'll be DAMNED if any of my kids & are the ones who shoot up the school because I didnt put my foot down like a parent should...

This is more for the folks who are 30-plus & grew up with disciple before it was call child abuse... Nothing wrong with rosing up his backside alittle. By no means am I saying beat the kid just remind him who is the one in charge. Sometime a small pat on the butt is enough to keep him from using it again.

I had this problem with my 2 year old he would use the B-word...

Use the pat on the butt as an attention getter about behavior/attitude/language/etc.





...and and LOL

This is what I did with my daughter when she was around the same age. I was listening to a Godsmack song and didn't realize they were about to say f*ckin' until it happened. My daughter asked what that meant and I explained what was explained to me by a great friend of mine years ago when I said it for everything. I explained to her about how it can be used to place emphasis in certain situation but if used all of the time it loses its meaning and just gives the user the image of having a foul mouth. I also explained that if used very sparingly, it could help get a point across. She understood and other words came up on occasion. This seems to have worked for me.

Only once in the last year or two did I hear her start saying damn for everything. I reminded her of our talk, and a certain person that emulates that behavior, and she stopped because she didn't want to be seen that way.

I hope this helps.
