My one year old says "Oh S**t" all the time, how can i make him stop saying the word?

Question

My one year old son says oh s***t. I''m pretty sure he heard me say it last week when i ate a red light. But he says it now all the time, at day care, every where! I don't know how to make him stop ! should i discipline him? should i ignore it?Help !

Answer 1

tell him if he continues to say that then he get something taking away and if he continues to say it, keep taking away something he enjoys playing with. Its hard at first but stay consistent and he will slow stop saying it!

           hope i helped! : )

Answer 2

as funny as it is, don't laugh.

don't ignore him as well. say no firmly, voice and hand gustier.

if he says it again, put him in a corner for one minute, dont let him leave the corner no matter what.

if he yells, kicks whatever, just ignore him, when the one minute is over, go down to his level, make eye contact, and tell him to say sorry.

keep doing it until he stops.

Answer 3

You can ignore it, or you can act like you think he's saying something else( like " sit").

Answer 4

at this early age it's soo difficult to make the baby understand why shouldn't he say a word that he knows .. best way is to fake the word into another like when my son said ( tizzi " that's bot in my language ") i yelled with him as if i was playing (daisy) ... so now when he tries to mimic me he will say daisy .. try to act just like you are using the same word but play with letters and make it another word .. the baby will think that you'r correct and he will correct the word to something whatever you used .. sorry i am not that english expert to suggest a certain word ..  

Answer 5

Oh haha..he doesn't know its a bad word. Just start him up on another word. When you say something just say "Oh crikey", something thats more kid friendly. Just say it when you're mad and say it when you're saying something. He'll pick up on it. Plus if you keep refocusing him on that 'S' word by saying that its bad, he'll continue to do it. You could say, nooooo..its oh crikey! or jimminy cricket! change it.

Answer 6

This happened with my son when he was 1 also.  Don't react when he says it, do not laugh or get mad or anything.  Just try to replace the word, every time he says "oh s**t" immediately say "oh no" and say it loud, when he says it make a big deal about it.  Kids love attention so if he sees that you get happy every time he says "oh no" he'll want to use that word, on the other hand if you get mad when he says "oh s**t" it will make him say it more so just ignore it.  He doesn't know what he is saying he just goes by what he hears and reactions he gets from saying certain things.  Be patient, he'll get it.  Good luck.

Answer 7

lol my daughter say's (what the h**l) all the time because it's my favorite word to use. Now I changed it up on her and say (what the heck) and she picked up on it right away. Now my problem is solved and I don't have to be embarrassed every time I go to the store and she keeps repeating it. I think the biggest problem I had at trying to get her to stop saying it was I kept laughing. So don't laugh when he says it.

Answer 8

Tell him its a bad word and to stop saying it. If he keeps saying it, put him in time out. Eventually he'll learn to stop!

Answer 9

Just spank him whenever he says it. He'll stop soon and problem solved. Also, be careful to not say things like that in front of him again.
