I call it "using ugly words, " and its not allowed. At 5 he knows its not something you allow. Have his mom tell him IN FRONT of you, not to say those things. If they use ugly words here they can sit in the ugly chair. (its just a chair at their lunch table, ) its changes, sometimes its the hitting chair, if they hit they can sit there and hit themselves all day long I dont care but they will not be hitting my firends,.. They will sit in the ugly chair until they arent ugly anymore. when they have sat there long enough they will figure out that they were wrong, and they will say,.. Im sorry I was ugly. and when they say they wont be ugly anymore I let them up. If they are ugly again,.. back they go. all day if we need to keep repeating it. But he will not get a respnse of rise out of anyone for ugly words.

GEEZ my god, Telling them their ugly......thats a bad word to me, your teaching children that their being Ugly.......man, I wouldnt allow my children to tell another child their being Ugly, cause they said something. And I would be mad, if my provider was telling my child they were ugly.

I don't think that's what she's saying. Well that's not the impression I got anyway. She said that it's also the hitting chair if they hit so I took it as like a time-out chair. If they hit it's the hitting chair, if they say ugly words then it's the ugly chair. Pretty much of they do something bad it's the [insert bad action name here] chair.

people used to use the term "being ugly" like we say "being bad" or "being rude"

my grandmother used to say "don't be ugly" or "that's ugly" and i say it to my kids cus i heard it so much. it's not ugly as in they have a messed up face ::

how would u react if you had a 5yr old boy constantly saying bad words...i call it potty mouth...things such as 'hey, girls have 'ginas" ....'hell' ...'thats gay'...

parents allow him to say these things and thinks its funny...he knows he can only say these things as his house, per mom/dads ok

i know this cuz mom is a friend....

i remind him we do not say those things here...its not constant but things do slip out on occassion...thankfully he is very part time and no, termination is not an option...(i dont think terming is always the answer)

none of the other kids are picking up what he says thankgoodness because i catch him usually in mid-word

I had a similar problem with a 3 year old saying 'oh my god' at first I tried to just ignore it as I know it's a phrase his mom uses every so often. Then one day he repeated it 15 times within 2 minutes and I had enough. I decided the best way to get rid of it was replace it with another phrase. So instead of 'oh my god' I taught him to say 'wow'. It took one day and all I did was say 'wow' really loud anytime I heard him even start 'oh my god'. The 19 month old caught on after a couple times and would shout 'wow' right after me. The 3 yr old got it and stopped though he still occasionally says 'crap' to which I just say 'We don't use that word here' and I won't hear it again for a few months. The older they are the hard it is to train them but if you substitute an appropriate phrase it lets the kid still express themselves rather than just teaching them that their opinions of what is going on around them should not be voiced at your house.

here we dont say poop, pee, we say use the bathroom, or restroom,... I dont say,.. did you wipe your buttocks? I say, do you need help wiping your bottom. I dont allow them to run around saying I have a penis, I have a vagina,.. any more than I would allow them to run saying,.. I have a rectum, I have an anus. We only use some words in the bathroom,.. those words are the parts covered by our underwear ot tank shirt. Yes, we all have nipples,... but I am not about to have 9 kids runn ing through the house saying nipples nipples nipples,...!!!!
I think being politically correct and being sensitive to others beliefs and cultures is wonderful. And, I am all for teaching the kids the proper names for their body parts.... but Im not ready to embrace a child yelling through the mall,.. Mommy My anus is itchy!!!! or standing up in the bmv saying,.. I have a penis, not vagina!!!.. to everyone in the waiting area. I think there are social boundaries that need to remain intact. And I think alot of people are either too busy to be bothered with teaching them, or they just like the "shock value" in overstepping them.

I was laughing so hard that my husband had to finally ask me what was so funny. I told him and then HE started to laugh so hard he was almost crying! ::::::
