Raising children is not always the easiest task in the world. In fact, this task can often seem the most difficult and a real mission for life. In the process of educating another human being, it is normal to feel lost or even to feel that you are not doing the job. There are situations, for example, like when we catch a child swearing , that we don’t know what to do to deal with the situation.
At such times, seeking help if necessary is essential so that your child’s upbringing has no problem and for you to be able to control the child not in a punitive way, but to make him understand what he is doing wrong. Yes, it can often be a very difficult and laborious task, but it needs to be done so that this mission of educating a human being goes smoothly.
Children who behave inappropriately are no exception. In fact, there are several phases of childhood where it is necessary to go through this so that they can grow and learn to live in society, some of these phases with more intensity, others with less.
But to understand how to deal with a problem like the child swearing , for example, we need to think not only about how he can stop acting like this, but also why he started it and what is the best way to make him understand that this is not appropriate behavior. The real task and the main difficulties are precisely at that point.
Why is the Child speaking bad language?
Investigating the causes of the child to be acting in this way is essential for you to deal with this problem. Pay attention, first, to the example that the parents are setting for the child . Does she consider it normal to take this type of action? Does she think that kind of attitude is good? Looking at yourself is important to fix the problem.
It is clear that, despite being great, the influence that parents have on the child is not the only one and he may be swearing from other influences such as friends, other adults or even television. If the latter is the case, it is time to think about your rules with your child with regard to schedules and assisted programs
Knowing where the child’s bad words come from for some reasons. First, because curiosity is part of childhood, that is, she often does not even know that she is doing something wrong and is curious about a new word that she heard somewhere.
The problem is a little different when the child knows that certain words will cause certain reactions in adults, especially in their parents. In that case, treatment with it needs to be different.
How should Parents act?
Ignoring the expletive can be a good strategy for the child to stop using those words. However, it is necessary to know the extent to which it can be ignored, since sometimes they will not stop speaking naturally, as expected.
Depending on the child’s age, you can talk to him about what he is doing wrong to make him understand that he should not speak bad words. It is important that this conversation does not have a tone of scolding or punishment, as it can end up making her use profanity as a weapon when she wants to provoke or even draw attention.
In spite of everything, what makes children repeat these words are exactly the reactions that adults have of them. Finding grace or getting very angry can make her repeat the word, understanding that it has some meaning and that it can affect other people. For this reason, acting with indifference and talking can be one of the best ways for a child speaking bad language to no longer have this type of behavior.
What to Do to End Swearing
There are several actions that parents can take to make a child swearing stop acting that way. Of course, each of these attitudes will depend on the child’s age and individual aspects, but usually these attitudes end up working positively.
- Ignore – As we have already said, it is one of the best ways to prevent the child from repeating the expletive, as he will realize that it has no effect on adults.
- Teach fun words that can replace bad words.
- Impose limits – When necessary, the use of punishment can work. Taking something the child likes, for example, can teach them not to repeat the expletive. But for this to work you have to keep your word or the child will think that he will always be in control of the situation.
- Set an example – Don’t swear in front of children. The example of parents is one of the most important and valuable things for a child.
- Talk – Explaining to the child that it can be offensive can often work.
- Don’t Stimulate – As funny as it may seem at times, it’s important to remain neutral so as not to encourage your child to continue using this type of verbiage.
As we said at the beginning of the text, being responsible for the education of another human being is a real task for our lives and, no matter how hard we try, there will always be problems like the child speaking bad language and other types of inappropriate behavior.
Even if each case is different, each child tries to get the parents’ attention for a different reason and goes through individual problems, many of the things we can do will work in all of these cases . Seeking help to understand how to deal with children is necessary and often beneficial so that you can open your eyes to other forms of rearing as well. After all, to continue with this mission, we need every possible preparation.
