  • You need to tell her that is something she CANNOT say. Set a consequence and follow through EVERYTIME!

    My husband and I both swear occasionally, and there have been times when my son repeated us. The first time, we told him very firmly that it was a grown up and that he WILL NOT say it or he will get hit on the mouth. The next time he said it, we cracked him on the lip.

    We've never had an issue with it. If you make it very clear that certain behaviors are not acceptable and give consequences she will learn.

    Good Luck

  • Where did she learn that from? She will only continue to say it if somebody is saying it around her and using a lot of emotion.

    I screwed up one day and said DAMMIT, because I dropped a glass bowl on my foot. My daughter picked this up right away. She was saying it constantly, we just ignored her and she hasn't said it for a while. I feel confident going out in public again LOL!

  • I would just keep being stern and telling her that such language is not tolerated. my 2yo is usually not phased by timeouts, so I usually do not use them. I just keep stern and let her know she is not allowed to speak that way. it sank in after a short time but every once in a while when she is frustrated she lets one slip.

  • Yeah i think maybe she is getting mad at her my oldest daughter cause she is mean to her sometimes.But i know everyone around her curses on all sides of both families.I try not to but it slips alot.She knows shes not supposed to say it and right after she does she say's sorry sissy and hugs her so maybe it is just some kind of game she's playing.I will also ask her what did you say? And she says i said a bad word.So she deff knows that.

  • Its a think she sees she gets attention from it .Abviously she learned it somewhere kids are sponges .once she gets a new word that attracts attention the B word will be done and over .dont forget she is 2 and words can sound similar to that like Brush,touch ,push .My daughter said Fu$k
    so i got into the habit of saying your fired every time i was at some thing she picked it up .and now instead of the f word she says YOU FIRED lol
