Happy Getting Rid Of Potty Talk
December 28, 2018
Edit
The potty beak going on at my trouble solid lately is killing me. I'm non talking entirely almost swearing. I am talking almost words similar poo poo human face upwards together with chicken butt. I abhor them!
If you lot convey a five-year-old, together with thence most probable you lot know what I am talking about.
What produce you lot produce to halt it? What plant at your house? Do you lot abhor it too? Or is it but me?
Me: "Wow, babe Ryan is using such skillful language."
Andrew: "Uh, mom, babe Ryan can't talk."
Exactly what the kids wanted. They beloved to force my buttons together with come across me acquire angry. It leads to dizzy poorly idea out threats together with frustration for everyone. Win for the kids.
At some indicate nosotros produce convey to acquire out the house. Also, my boy almost kicked the bath door downwardly when I tried this. I don't believe inwards fourth dimension out... thence this strategy doesn't piece of job for me either. I produce withal believe inwards "time in" thence I involve to contain that somehow.
Can't acquire myself to produce it. I think it is mean.
Honestly I convey genuinely done this at my wits end... together with it genuinely but reinforced the behavior. They beloved their rooms together with would rather hold out in that place when I am grumpy anyway.
Yep, that doesn't piece of job either. ;) Sometimes I can't assist myself though.
Um... I'm silent figuring this out. What produce you lot do?
Thoughts?

Things that don't piece of job at our house... because I've tried them all.
1. Praising the kids that aren't using potty talk
Me: "Wow, babe Ryan is using such skillful language."
Andrew: "Uh, mom, babe Ryan can't talk."
2. Yelling
Exactly what the kids wanted. They beloved to force my buttons together with come across me acquire angry. It leads to dizzy poorly idea out threats together with frustration for everyone. Win for the kids.
3. Having the kids acquire into the bath to allow all their potty words out
At some indicate nosotros produce convey to acquire out the house. Also, my boy almost kicked the bath door downwardly when I tried this. I don't believe inwards fourth dimension out... thence this strategy doesn't piece of job for me either. I produce withal believe inwards "time in" thence I involve to contain that somehow.
4. Washing their mouths out amongst soap
Can't acquire myself to produce it. I think it is mean.
5. Sending the kids to their rooms.
Honestly I convey genuinely done this at my wits end... together with it genuinely but reinforced the behavior. They beloved their rooms together with would rather hold out in that place when I am grumpy anyway.
6. Laughing at them.
Yep, that doesn't piece of job either. ;) Sometimes I can't assist myself though.
Here's what I AM trying...
1. Ignoring it together with reacting positively to the skillful words my kids DO use.
I acquire less annoyed, they tell to a greater extent than skillful things... it is a win win.
2. Having some sort of laid upshot when they produce run potty talk. (like when they learn their 2-year-old cousin to say, "chicken butt"--- ugh! :( I am seriously non a terrible mom... I promise)
Um... I'm silent figuring this out. What produce you lot do?
I think I'm going to kickoff having my 5-year-old pay me for every potty give-and-take he uses amongst his "work pay" money. I convey no clue what to produce for the 2.5-year-old though. She is silent a discover cannon.
Thoughts?
3. Make a visual vantage chard
This calendar week we're reading The Gruffalo
by Julia Donaldson, thence nosotros made a Gruffalo skillful words vantage chart. Throughout the twenty-four hours I endeavor together with grab the kids using skillful words. We beak almost what skillful words are together with and thence I ignore the potty words together with only focus on the skillful ones. When I grab the kids using skillful words together with thence they acquire to fill upwards inwards a branch on their tree. We each convey a tree to fill upwards up. Once they are filled nosotros acquire to produce a fun activity together.
My destination is to run sort placidity words (instead of yelling) together with the destination for the kids is to run other to a greater extent than grown upwards words to pull things (instead of potty talk).
The upside is that I retrieve to aspect for skillful behaviour (and hold out on my best behaviour too) together with the kids remind me.
The downside is that nosotros only convey our nautical chart inwards the house... together with it only plant when I aspect for the positive. Also, sometimes the immediate gratification that comes from using potty words together with making other siblings express mirth trumps whatever other reinforcement I convey to offer. At to the lowest degree my kids similar each other, right?
I'll allow you lot know how it goes.
My immature adult woman learned how to tell "stupid" together with "shut up" past times watching Pixar's Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Bugs Life. I idea it was a cute show... together with it is... but immediately the few scenes amongst inappropriate words acquire replayed constantly inwards her play, conversation, together with inwards social interactions. You never know what words your kids volition latch on to... thence avoid using them yourself together with avoid letting them remove heed them inwards media until they are older together with to a greater extent than capable of censoring themselves/having self control. I got to hold out reminded of that the difficult way... together with immediately my sweetness ii yr onetime calls me stupid from fourth dimension to time. Boo! :(
You apparently can't censor your surround or the people around you lot all the fourth dimension either...
One that hopefully ends soon.
