thts bad, i'd say tell him firmly that if he doesnt stop,his privileges will be curtailed.Spanking or hitting him will only make him more stubborn.

From one special needs mom to another....you don't\nYou didn't mention what types of issues your child has  or your child's age but for most special needs children mouthing is a sensory issue ie they do it because it is soothing or helps them focus. Have a set of things that are okay to mouth and if they are mouthing something else give them one of the okay items. Since this may be a comfort issue for your child try not to make a big deal out of it as anxiety will increase the behavior my son finally stopped when he was about 4. If this is a major concern for you talk to a occupational therapist that specializes in working with sensory issues they will have lots of good ideas \nGood Luck\n\nBTW in most states it is considered child abuse to put pepper sauce on anything and give it to a child to break behaviors so please be aware if you choose to try something like this

Just remember you were young and stupid.  Everyone was young and stupid once, there's nothing you can do about it now except make sure never to do it again.\n\nAnd hope to teach your children to do better.

Try to avoid talking very much. DEFINATELY avoid shouting, screaming and singing - Make sure you don't need to shout by moving close to the people you're talking to, turning off the TV/radio/stereo when you're talking so you don't need to raise your voice. Move away from noisy machinery (such as washing machines). \n\nUse an alternative way of getting people's attention such as waving, putting your hand up, clapping, whistling or touching them, instead of calling out to them. \n\nDrink lots of water - tepid water is best. Avoid drinking very hot or cold drinks. Avoid drinks containing cafeine and alcohol. \n\nDon't smoke (probably dosen't apply to your daughter!) and try to avoid being in places where other people are smoking.\n\nTry to make sure the air in your home is not too dry (this can happen if you have central heating or air conditioning). Consider putting a bowl of water near heat sources.\n\nInhaling steam can be useful.\n\nSuck boiled sweets because these encourage saliva to flow and keep your throat moist (but also think about your teeth!)\n\nFor Thursday: If her throat is sore, just before her performance, your daughter might find it helpful to suck a throat lozenge that contains a mild local anasthetic (in the UK one brand is "Decquacaine", I'm not sure if they're available in other countries, might have another name). But CAUTION: Normally, you shouldn't let your daughter suck the lozenges because they will dull the pain and that will encourage her to over-use her voice.

The more you show him that this word upsets you, the more he'll say it. He knows it pushes your buttons. Hey, he's a little brother. That's the way they are. It's their job to snitch on you, copy everything you say & do, and find words that annoy you. Unfortunately, if he's not listening to your good counsel about keeping his yap shut, someone will do it for him, relieving you of all responsibility. So, if you've told him, and you've told your parents, your job's done. Let the chips fall where they will. And don't allow him to see that it bothers you. This works well on all the other stuff that he's been annoying you with too. How do I know this? I'm a little sister, though grown up now. <*)))><

Hi! Well, first of all, install parental control or something, so that you can block things you don't want your child to see! Try that! Good luck!

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.

Number one be consistent.  Demand that they are respectful, kind to others, tell the truth, and non-violent.  Put them in a time out chair when they do not listen or take away something that means a lot to them.  Don't letting something be all right one time and not all right the next.  Too many people confuse children this way. However, do not just focus on the negative.  Let your child know when he/she is doing well.  Children love compliments, and they love to make others proud.   If all else fails, call Super Nanny!

Practice speaking with them, don't feel bad about correcting them.  they can watch TV or movies, listen to audio books. Even going to the basics with grade school phonics - Hope this helps!

It doesn't matter to me, but people should have the option to opt out of saying it if they feel strongly that their children shouldn't say it.  They should at least observe some sort of silence as respect while it's being said.

i used to swear alot because i was surrounded by people who swear when i worked in a factory about 10 years ago.  Training to be a teacher soon stopped the swearing...but also i heard a young woman saying 'F off' to someone and even though she was saying it in a fun way, i just realised how awful it sounds and it gives other people the wrong impression of the type of person you are. ( I do still swear occasionally but it depends on the time and place and i make sure i am not overheard by strangers, with certain friends and as part of jokey conversation swearing can be ok, it is after all just another sound that comes from our mouths to form a word just like all of the other sounds form words too. \n Think of other ways to vent your anger. Exercise can help reduce stress levels . Try and avoid getting to the point when you are so angry you swear, so if you need time out from a situation then take it. Evaluate how much it helps you to get so angry, does it make a bad situation better or worse? What actions could make it better?\n Shouting and swearing are a way of displaying to others how you are feeling and help you to vent your anger. When you get angry your body produces adrenelin getting ready for 'flight or fight' ( to run away from danger or to fight it) try running on the spot really fast ( if you can do it in private) and this will help to use up the adrenaline and stop you feeling worked up and shakey...i do it and it really helps. Maybe take up yoga or something relaxing like that. Good luck, I really admire your ability to recognise your faults and be willing to change. You will do well.
