Explain to them, if they are old enough to understand what you are saying, that what they did was wrong and if they do it again, there will be consequences for it.  Time out, no tv, no games, no playing outside or having friends over, are some suggestions.  Also if the kids are near your home, don't let your child near them if they are a bad influence.

I have found that most children use bad language for one (or both) of two reasons: 1-they don't know how to express anger/frustration appropriately or 2-they want attention.\n\nIn my preschool classroom we teach children that they can respond to anger/frustration/annoyance in appropriate ways.  We teach the children that they can: 1-walk away, 2-ignore, or 3-tell the person to stop.  This helps cut down on the aggravating situations that can lead to using bad language.\n\nIf a child is using bad language for attention, the solution is to remove any attention/privilege when bad language is used.  For example, if a child is rude to another child at the lunch table, simple pull his chair back from the table a foot or so and simply tell them that they may return to the table when they are ready to use kind words.  Then, ignore the child until they say that they are ready to return.\n\nOther tried and true methods from my classroom:\n-Send a child who uses "bathroom" words (poopy, butt, etc) to the bathroom until they are ready to use appropriate words.  We tell them "Bathroom words are for the bathroom."  No toys in the bathroom = no fun!  IMPORTANT - We don't tell the children that "poopy" or related words are bad because many of them still need to use those words to communicate their bathroom needs.\n-Have the child think of something kind to say to the person - and then have them say it!\n-Have the child "throw away" their bad/unkind words into a trash can.\n-Ignore it.  Many children will stop if the parent/teacher/adult does not give any attention to them.

YOU are the parent - explain to your son that you won't apologize or buy him a gift for having to correct him for his misbehavior.\nExplain - without letting anger into your voice or body language - that when he does something wrong you will correct him. Then tell him that if you do something wrong (punish him incorrectly) then you will apologize if you owe it to him. DO NOT let him guilt trip you into buying him gifts or apologizing for correcting him. Kids need boundaries & they need to learn the consequences of their actions & the sooner you teach him, the better he will be. You correct him for his own good, not because you like to do it! \nGood luck & stick firm to your position - HE is the child, YOU are in charge!!

Tell your new "Mother" to shove it and shut the h*ll up.  Tell her off.  Tell her what ever you need to to make her stop talking like that.  If you are unable to or unwilling to.  Then looks like you got to tell your dad what's up or continue to bite your tounge.

I would suggest you take time to share part of your childs life. Enjoy their music with them. Dont make it a negative experience at all this will most likely back fire. If you start sanctioning what your child listens to they are likely to rebel. Guide your child by his or her tastes, and even share your own. Discuss things you find objectional with your child in a constructive way. Suggest music you think is appropriate, get them excited about it! Positive only! You have been warned! Take them to a concert even!\n\nThe point is share positive experiences together -- this is the best influence you can have on your child.

God says a soft answer turns away all wrath. He also says he will fight your battles for you. That these people feel you are worth speaking to must tell you something. Cussing people out only brings you down to their level. Remember God was mocked and stoned. He prayed for them. There are always going to be people that are natural bullies,if you set an example and stand up to them by just ignoring them maybe it will save someone else from the same thing. If all else fails you do realize you can bring a suit against these children for harassament.

must resist the urge to say something offensive

Just tell them they have to think about other people once in a while. They might get defensive at first, but they'll think about it and come around.

hate someone like who? really - kids like to talk and repeat other particular words that they have heard other people say. so most likely thats all it is. they might have over-heard someone speaking about how they hate a particular person and the child is prolly repeating it.

Like any intolerant one!! Try to open your mind... if children like it let them play... it isn't harmful at all... but well just remember nobody likes some one who says "when I was a child we used to..."

It's great that you acknowledge your problem and want to resolve it. First you must reprogram yourself (so to speak). You have to learn how to control how you react to people. I think you may just need to feel like you are being listened to, and if you don't that could cause frustrations to mount and fuses to become short. Try to address something before it becomes a big problem. Change your approach. If you're losing your cool with kids, try getting on their level and look them eye to eye and sincerely talk to them and tell them why certain things are important and that you don't want to get upset or yell at them but if they don't respect your wishes it could cause you to get upset and that they can help prevent that by showing that they are listening and respecting you. Just remember you can't control other ppl but you can control how you react to them.

oh i have a brother that acts the exact same way\n\nsometimes it the friends this person hangs with, or it could be the kid just wants attention -- what you can do to get them to listen is just emphasize on all the good things that they've done-spend time doing some things that they want to-just don't cater to their every whim. \n\n...if they do anything drastic, i suggest therapy\n\n...and personally, i don't think it shows bad parenting because sometimes theres just nothing you can do-the kid just wants their way, & doesn't want to compromise

Ignore, Ignore, Ignore.  People like that feed off of seeing your reactions to what they say.  Once they realize that it doesn't bother you or that they can't get a reaction from you, they will stop what they are doing!

Just ignore them. Sooner or later, they'll see that you don't really care, but if you tell them to stop, they'll probably keep being mean.And don't worry about the things they said to you. You probably have a lot of friends. Those boys are just immature brats and don't go near them. GOOD LUCK:)

Just tell them it bothers you.  It also depends on what they're teasing you about.  I tease my niece all the time, but if she tells me I'm annoying her, then I stop.
