[blparent] language use concern

I think you are right about the correcting.  Ignoring the language will make him believe it is okay.  You are right it has to be nipped in the bud.  Think of an alternative phrase you can teach him so he can still express his feelings but not with undesirable language.
This may sound picky to you guys, but we would never let our girls say "Shut up,"  since that phrase can lead to so many explosive situations and hurt feelings.  We did have them say "Be quiet."  One time, a Jamaican friend of our said "Quiet yourself," so we ended up adopting that phrase.

Hi friends,
I am having this issue with my 4 year old preschooler very regularly and both I and my husband have tried every technique. None of us use any bad or wrong words around our son, however, he picked up words from my friend who is very rough and always uses all kinds of words around little kids. He has been saying "stupid" this "stupid that" We ignored it, corrected him, told him this is wrong and just completely ignored and did not respond so that he may stop using it, but nothing worked.
Any suggestions you guys have or any techniques that worked for you?
Hina.
