Bad language from 5 yr old ds

Ds has been taught all manner of bad words by one of his 'friends' at school. The worst of which is the f word and the c word! I am not happy with him playing with other dc as he is learning all sorts of bad behaviours such as lying, sneaking overly rough playing and is entering into calling people names. Again not all of these names are acceptable and could be very hurtful.

We have talked to him about all of this. He knows which words are bad and told him not to say them. Have explained how hurtful name calling can be and said im not happy about it and that he will continue to get told off if he does it. If he says these things now we put him on the naughty step immediately and are very firm with him about how nasty it is and how we are not happy with him doing it.

This has been going on for 6 weeks. He is still saying themHmm. Is there a better way of dealing with this?

You should speak to school and tell them everything and ask them to encourage DS away from this boy. Also, invite some other boys home to play...ones you can trust.

Instead of naughty step, try removing fave toys...and no screen time at all that day. I find this more effective.
