Answer 1

Punish them.

Answer 2

honestly dont make to much of a fuss over it, it is a faze all kids go through. the younger one is just copying. make sure you avoid using the words yourself, but if you make a huge thing about it they will keep doing it as it getsur attention.

please come read this and pass on to as many people as you can

Answer 3

hi i am a bit scared to answer this because my 5 yr old (now 9) was doing the same thing and in public OMG i would get so embarrassed it just kills you as a parent this is what i did now please it is not an overnight fix but in time a week or two they will get it (it took 9 days for mine son to get it) what i told my 5 yr old i was not yelling screaming or anything i told him "wow (your sons name) you think using that kind of language is right? boy i was taught that people who use that language are not bright or successful is that what you want people to think of you you are a big boy gosh is that something that you want to go through life doing? can you this of another word instead of that word (my son chose funky but lovin) i know sounds wired and WAY OFF THE WALL. help him figure out a word that takes longer to say and is kinda funny at the same time. if you are in public and he does say it what i did with mine is give him the scary yikes mom look and bend down and mention again gosh sweety what do you think everyone thinks? i am not sure that was a good choice YOU made........ i know i know typing it out seems off the wall but hey see what happens.   =)

Answer 4

WHERE did the 11 year old LEARN to cuss to begin with?  Also, if you wouldn't make a major issue out of it it wouldn't be as much fun them to do.  They do it because they know it will get a rise out of you.  I have brothers and when they were kids they swore like sailors (so did myself and my sisters) All my mom said about it was that when we were among our peers and that type of language was used we could but once inside the house and among adults we were not allowed to use that language.   Eventually we outgrew it because there  was no major issue about it.

Answer 5

First off, cut out the cursing yourself if you do it. They WILL pull the 'Well, you do it. Why can't I?' line.

And public schools are awful these days. It's going to be around them.

My mom made us chew and swallow soap if she heard us curse. Believe me, that solved the problem fast.

That stuff is nasty.

Answer 6

the thing is you can't just say stuff like''you can't say that word and don't!'' to your children

explain to them why they can't say that,talk to them and tell him how his 6 year old brother would soon start saying it,and how its emmbarasing for you cause you want you children to be perfect infront of guest.Tell him that if today he's using the f word at a young age then what is he going to say when he's order.There are men out there doing that to their wives and parents.Talk to him like a big boy and it's very important for him to trust in you.

hope i helped:)

Answer 7

every time they cuss take a privlige away or ground them

Answer 8

Mine would be getting their bare rears paddled each and every time this happened--after they got their mouth washed out with soap.

Answer 9

make them eat soap! treat them like babys in front of there friends!!!

Answer 10

Every time they say a cuss word make them give up a toy and sit in time out. Eventually when they end up with empty bedrooms and no toys to play with they'll adjust their vocabularies.

Answer 11

i would say talk to them tell them that if they cus again then you ground them from everything they like and if they keep doing it then make a move and show them that you are not kidding and ground them and if they keep doing that then talk to them and tell them that is it  they have to stop and if they don't spank them and if they countinue then you are going to have to get some help!!! :}

Answer 12

Tell them firmly that it's not a nice word to say, and if they say it, send them to there room for ten minutes.

Answer 13

H0t sause

Answer 14

well its our fault, the village that raised the child swear.  put soap in our mouths!!!  jk...  i had the same problem, i swore and ruined it for my kids so they swore too.  i did the soap thing, i did the chili juice thing.  all you can do is not swear yourself, dont let them see any tv shows with swearing or any movies...  tell them how they wont be going anywhere if they swear.  you have to take priveleges away.  put a posterboard up on the wall and try to find ways to reward them for not swearing.  this is what worked best for me.

Answer 15

Punish them when they say it? Soap or Hot Sauce in the mouth, Time out, Grounding, Take away a toy or tv, whatever it takes.
