 Re: Cursing !! | |
He's too young for hot sauce and I do not think it's abuse just not a good way to parent.
I did tap my children's hands when they touched something they were not supposed to but that's me. I'll spank too depending on what it is they did.
As for your dilema, I would put your hand on his mouth and say "that's not a nice word it makes mommy sad" and then show him a sad face. If he is getting a reaction from you then he is going to keep saying it.
I've got news for ya, three year olds are the worst! You need to let him know who the adult is and lay down your rules now. If your step son has that mouth then you need to find a way for your child to not be around that kid. They are sponges.
Good luck. You do not sound abusive at all to me and don't let anyone make you think so. Some people do not spank, tap or whatever...more power to them. I do. |
