dd 5 making up words

[familyfun]

dd has started saying silly things like "you fopper" "you papper""you tingo" almost as insults.
she did swear a few times when younger and we ignored and she forgot, then when she started school she swore again and we told her it was swearing and she never said it again, but not sure whether to ignore these silly words as some sound rude like Fopper.
she also rhymes a lot, like yesterds
ay we had rocket rhymes with focket which i ignored.
am i doing right?

she sounds like she is having fun with language - something to be encouraged and enjoyed

She sounds brilliant!

dp says people will think she is swearing and should stop but she knows she shouldnt swear, she just likes making up words and seeing what rhymes.

Try her with alliteration with names - like Lovely Lucy and Jolly Jack and other word games. She is just enjoying real words/her words and rhyme and rhythm.

Perhaps she is a poetical genius. She sounds great.

my dd age 5 does exactly the same complete with funny accents, fabulously dramatic gestures etc. She is a real personality! I think its great that she is so imaginative. I really wouldn't worry. And at least she isn't really swearing which is a bonus!

shes already done some real swearing after starting school, watering her tomatoes was accompanied by "look at the water pissing out" in a loud voice so all neighbours could hear. tried ignoring it but every time she saw running water/rain she said pissing out/down so had to tell her its swearing. she said she thought it meant pouring. someone obviously forgot themselves infront of her.

Can you ask your DD if I can borrow her words, please? I need to mind my language much more at work and I think I could usefully use 'you fopper'.

I think she sounds like she's having good fun with language and the creativity is ace.
