swearing

OK so you have a little potty mouth on your hands. Now your embarrassed, how do you make him stop!Just about every child repeats something that you wish they didn't but for a child to know how and when to use it they have heard it more then once.let face it they didn't learn it at daycare, they didn't walk into a grown up movie and pick it up, it wasn't from a brief encounter at the store, if you child swears then they most likely learned it from you, or someone they spend a lot of time with. I don't think it's really fair to tell a child its okay for grown ups but not kids,weather you like it or not you took on the ultimate job as #1 role model so it is now do as I do, not just as I say.What I'm trying to get at is you have to stop the swearing around your little ones in order for them to stop swearing. Also don't draw too much attention to it when they do, just say something like "nice words only" and drop it. Eventually it will stop because it got no attention and he/she is no longer hearing it.
