Your child’s first words and first steps are milestones that you as parents treasure forever. However there are some “other firsts” you would love to erase altogether. One such is when your little one utters the first swear word. There is every chance this may occur when you are in a crowd embarrassing you to no end. However, you can be rest assured this is perfectly a normal phase in your toddler’s age and all you need to do is nip it in the bud itself. The issue is not where he or she picked it up from, but how to deal with it tactfully and gradually put a full stop to this habit.
A kindergartner has just started interacting with the outside world, and is even experimenting. Like many others, your toddler is coming up with some words to express her frustration or displeasure over a situation that does not go her way. These words may elicit laughter and giggles the first time your child says them, but when it becomes an habit, you may want to intervene. Swearing and offensive words need to be curtailed from your child’s vocabulary, no matter where they came to her from. Most parents are also guilty of swearing over small things, like being stuck in a traffic jam; and the crux here is that these incidents have a great influence on your inquisitive child sitting close by.
One thing you need to keep in mind while dealing with this problem is to remember kids are by nature attention grabbers and if they realize swearing or potty talk can attract attention, they will naturally repeat it often. Given below are some simple tips which are sure to help you tackle potty talk and get rid of this embarrassing habit in your toddler.
So next time you hear your child swearing, don’t panic, be calm and work out how to deal with it tactfully. Just keep in mind the fact no age is too early to make your child comprehend that swearing is not by any means acceptable.
