Let's face it, it's usually a big surprise for parents to see their child cursing, but have you ever stopped to think that this behavior is not always unpredictable? A child who grows up in an environment where he hears swearing will certainly understand that this is a normal and appropriate habit.
On the other hand, the surprise may come precisely from realizing that the child has learned bad words even when he does not hear them at home. In this case, it is important to investigate where this habit came from, because for such behavior to exist, there was the influence of another person.
It could be socializing with classmates at school or a TV show.
In this case, it is important for parents to demonstrate how this type of action is not cool. You can do this through honest and accessible dialogue. Including this needs to be said every time he or she blurts out the curse word. So don't let this act be naturalized.
There are several pedagogical and psychological methods to make children learn anything in a simple way, even to stop using profanity. Consider educational stories with special books on this theme, videos produced to educate, as well as games and serious conversations.
Also realize when it's time to teach that all actions in life have consequences. To do this, talk about how swearing can hurt people, starting with you and your partner. Establish rules to prevent this behavior from recurring. And speaking of them, it's good to remember that they will only work if everyone in the house, including the adults, is obedient. Be an example.
