My 5yo has learned some bad words from older kids but the other day my husband got frustrated with a project he was doing and he said some bad words and my son and I who were downstairs were able to hear them all.
My son was laughing so I told him that his daddy was frustrated and was using words that are not proper to use because he forgot how to breath and calm himself ( I did not know what else to say). How do I handle this?
My boys use potty words and laugh about their privates. How can I teach them about safety?
Potty language perpetuates. Even though I repeat/remind and carve out time where my son can get it out, he continues to use this language around his two year old brother. I don’t know how to stop this. He will say one word and and his little brother will grab onto that and repeat it over and over and there’s just no stopping this. I am also noticing that when one of them is naked this also becomes a big deal and they giggle, say whatever word has got them going and then try touching each other. I’m really struggling with this as I don’t know what is normative vs sending the wrong message around body safety.
