My friends 2yr old loves to say " Ugly B!*@%" and "Oh S***"?
He also says F*@! You. She tried disciplining him on the matter but he continues to do it. Any Ideas on what to do now?????

Children are just parrots at this point if she wants him to stop swearing then everyone around him needs to stop swearing, no movies with those words, no tv and parents shouldn't say it. If the kid says it then he is just saying what his mom and dad say all the time

I have a 4 year old and one time she said the F word and I popped her in the mouth. Now what I should have done is explain to her that word should not be used and that it is bad then if she says it again pop her. Even though your friends child is only two he or she should be able to understand good and bad. Also have the parent check the words that he or she is saying and monitor more closely to what the child is hearing.

For starters try not to use bad language around him as adults we have to lead by example. when he says these words don't respond to him if you laugh or get cranky because he has said these words he's getting attention and as a mum with a 2 year girl who does the same I have learnt to ignore her. Sometimes I have had to tell my daughter "Mum's been a very naughty girl for saying these bad words and it's not nice to hear them or say them. She was happy with that answer and I've learnt to say Sugar in reponse to things not going well. if it's a case of Dad or another male thinking it's great to hear this from a 2 yr old boy. Ask them is this the way they want to teach this 2yr old respect for women and other people? i just find if your child is saying or doing something you don't want them to do, let them know it's not ok and if they continue with it put them in their bedroom or walk away so they realise their not getting attention for this behaviour. hope this helps.

The more reaction and attention he gets will just feed the problem and make it worse. She should ignore it as much as possible and it may just stop. If not, time out in a corner or chair without distraction for at least 10 minutes every time he says something derogatory. Tell her to try taking away things of his. Like toys or playtime privileges. Sounds harsh? So does his potty mouth.

Obviously he picked it up from someone. My daughter started saying "Oh, man" quite often, and then I realized that I say it all the time, so she must have picked up on it. First of all, try to stop whoever is saying those things from saying them around him. Tell him he's not allowed to say those things, they aren't nice words, and ignore it if he continues. If he knows he's not supposed to say it, and continues, he's just looking for a reaction. Don't give it to him. Or you could also try to teach him some new "kid friendly" phrases, maybe that would draw the attention away from the naughty ones. Make it fun and silly, then maybe he will say those instead!
