How do you stop a 5 year old from blurting out inappropriate things?
Answer:
Well, my grandparents would have washed his mouth out with soap. But these are different times, right?
Punishment when he says something inappropriate is a good thing to start with. If he says something on the phone, immediately suspend his phone time. No more talking to anyone on the phone for a week. Don't even let him say goodbye. He says it at a church dinner? No more talking to other people. Separate him or leave if you have to. Don't let him go to the next social event he begs to attend. Remind him about what he said.
That should work, but it might take awhile. Is there anything he doesn't like to talk about? Something that makes him squirm? If so, when he says something inappropriate immediately start talking about that. When he protests explain that it's the same thing. He has to respect others' feelings. Nobody will be polite to you if you're always rude. Using that tactic to make him understand how others feel might speed things up.
Good luck! I know that can be embarrassing.
a spanking.
You could try telling him that Santa is about to put him on his naughty list or threaten to punish him if he uses those bad words again
a puch in the mouth lol take away things when he does it or say it
discipline... however you discipline and make sure you follow through every time or else he's not going to catch on
trust me, if done correctly, it'll work just make sure you are consistant
He may very well get it but enjoys the attention he gets from these comments.
Well, U have to be strict with him. Clearly tell him if he does it. Just make sure in a firm tone, that he knows that u dont like it and he wil be punish. And maybe for once, put soap in his mouth if he does it. Happened to me ( but i was falsely accussed :( ).Im sure he wouldnt like the soap thing.
tape his mouth shut...Just kidding. Strong discipline, without actually hurting him such as a spanking would do. Also maybe try the soap in the mouth thing. And don't use the foaming hand soap. It just taste like bubbles in a bathtub and we all know kids eat those anyway. lol.
when you can controll what you all say around him he will stop that hes getting it from some where..
