How to deter bad language??

[Twigs01]

My 12 month has been taught, not by my family, to say s - - t. Shocked & upset, but don't know how to stop it. Any ideas or advice wld be very welcome.

Ignore.. your baby will quickly forget it.

F*d if I know. Seriusly I'm with Itwasntme - ignore, ignore. Your DC is way too little to remember it for long, aged 3-4-5 much much harder. Don't react at all if you can and maybe find a new word for the situations it's being used in and make it really fun and dramatic. Mine loves, "oh no what a crisis", pull faces, gesticulate wildly etc, repeat a total and utter crisis, I can't believe it, what shall we do. Just make it a much more interesting word for him/her to use on those situations and try and use in advance of her using it, so s**t doesn't become a trigger for a fun time.

HTH.

I'm having this problem but worse as somehow my 2YO managed to hear his dad on the fone outside and he said F**ck sake and now DS keeps saying it is really embarrassing but my mum said to ignore it too.

Wouldn't worry at this age. It is pure ignorance and she will forget if she doesn't hear the word again.

Then there is the phase around 3 or 4 where they use rude words or potty language deliberately to shock you. Once you have informed them that these words are silly and you don't want to hear them, I think the best approach is not to react to much: they are only fishing for a reaction.

When they get to age 7 or 8 and use bad language, you can blow up and tell them off and make them put money in the swear kitty or whatever.

at 12 months your dc will soon forget.just ignore it.

my 2year old is going through calling everyone poo poo pants stage..and stupid,i really dont like stupid.
