What do you do if your baby says bad words?

Answer 1

Well, honey, first off, you need to check yourself and see if you're the culprit for teaching your little angel those colorful vocabulary words. Next, calmly explain to your baby that those words are not appropriate and provide them with alternative, more kid-friendly language to express themselves. And if all else fails, blame it on the TV or the neighbor's parrot - they make great scapegoats.

Answer 2

Answer:Do it the ole fashion way. Wash their mouth with some soap. Answer:Well, where did the baby learn those words from? You can't use bad language around a baby, and not expect it to pick up on it. So the answer: stop using bad words yourself.

If you use bad words of course the baby is going to use bad words. So your baby does, tell him/her that it is naughty and give him/her a little smack. Not to hard, though.

Answer:I would say the first step is to determine whether or not the child knows it is a bad word.

If not, sit them down and tell them that said word is prohibited. Then, instruct them that any time you catch them using that word in the future, there will be a penalty.

The type of penalty you use could vary.

As listed in the prior answers, one common tactic is to wash their mouth out with soap. Just make sure the soap is non-toxic!

Another commonly used punishment is a "swear jar". Any time they use a bad word, they have to put a set amount of money (Usually, a dollar) in the jar.

These are just two examples. There are plenty of other punishments.

Just remember that no one can tell you how to raise your child. Advice is fine; but ultimately, you have to find your own way based on whatever works for you.
