DS 3yrs has learnt a swear word, help please

[puppy]

End of last week Ds came home from nursery and had been playing for a while, i asked him to tidy his toys away as he had finished playing with them. He refused to and then proceeded make a gun out of his hand which he pointed at me and then said f**ker, I told him that it was not a very nice word and that we don't use words like that in this house, not making a big issue of it as he will only say it more,

He has been saying it a few times yesterday and today.

I have had a word with his nursery teacher and she responded brilliantly saying that she will keep ears peeled and have a little talk with the children without mentioning names.

I also would like to add that ds does not have any toy guns as we don't like them and dh and i don't swear ourselves.

Any advice on nipping this in the bud quickly?

sounds like you're doing the right thing already.

would think so
my dh is terrible in our house at dropping the odd curse word.and dd also 3 has picked up on it but uses them totally out of context which is funny but we dont draw attention to it either.

Thanks for your replies lilacbump and hermykne, I guess we just carry on as we are.

my kids know the f swearword. i thought i had misheard the first time i heard my two year old say it. but she learnt it from her four year old brother, who learnt it off his 8 year old.
such is life
