Setting an example: If the mother and father can prevent the tendency to speak abusive around the child, the child will learn to control himself by imitating his mother and father.
Ability to express impulses: If the child can establish a healthy relationship with her family and freely express her/his anger towards her/his family, she will use less swearing to express her/his negative feelings.
Discussion: These words are written on a piece of paper and their definitions are made. Then their meanings are discussed.
Not caring: Some kids swear to get attention. When children say bad words, if the parents are not very upset and surprised and do not react to this situation, the children gradually give up their habits when they do not get the reactions they want.
Keeping silent: When the child swears, parents can remain silent and say that the child does not know the meaning of the word and ask the child about its meaning.
Encourage creativity: Creative activities, writing, journaling, music, sports, etc. activities prevent the habit of swearing.
Abrasion of bad words: When the child speaks bad words, ask him to say the same word for 5 minutes. He probably won’t say it again. If he does not want to say it, say that he can do what he wants only after he has served his punishment for saying the bad word.
Nonserious punishment: If the swearing child is punished by being beaten, red, threatened, he secretly uses these words. That is why the child should not be punished harshly, no matter what happen.
