2yo DD has picked up a swear word - how to get her to drop it?

[thereistheball]

She has started saying "shit" when she drops something or spills something on herself. She almost certainly got that from me . How do I get her to stop? Obv I need to stop myself from saying it, but do I also correct her, or just hope she will forget it?

[seaglass]

Choose an innocent word to use yourself, use it often, and ignore you DC. She'll forget it soon

[NorbertDentressangle]

Replace it with something else thats acceptable and hopefully after a few times of you dropping something and saying bollocks Oh deary me within her earshot, she might copy that instead?

[ScaryFucker]

ignore the naughty word

and start a campaign for a less offensive one such as "oh flip" or like norbert said, "oh deary me"

[mwff]

i tell them children don't use those words and also try to clean up my act, has been surprisingly successful here.

i have to say when we were playing a game of shopping list and i wasn't really paying attention i was so taken aback when my 2yo said "take the fucking aubergines" that i had her repeat it several times as i must have misheard

[busybutterfly]

I think "fucking aubergines" is a great description {grin]

My mum said "oh, you can say that, but don't ever say blueberries." Of course we did. But we were a bit older than 2.
