Where do children learn swearing? Families often make complaints such as "We don't swear at home, we don't understand where this child learns". In fact, in family communication, while there is a feeling of anger between the parents, a word spoken in an emphatic way makes the other party angry and the environment escalates. The child who sees this learns that he can make the other person angry in this way by matching behavior and information. However, the innocent child does not even know the meaning of the word he says. Apart from this, at a very young age, children whose language development has not yet been completed may suddenly say swear words they hear from someone in public. Families laugh and think that the child said this without realizing it, but the child realized that he attracted attention when he said that word before. You should never react by laughing, regardless of age. What should I do? I will share with you the "swear jar" activity against the swearing problem, which is most common in adolescence. Fill a glass jar with coins to the brim. It will be more effective if it costs as much as the price of an item your child wants to buy. Tell your child that if he can go four weeks without swearing, all the coins in the jar will be his. Mark that day on the calendar. Place the jar in a visible place. This way, the child will see what he is striving for. Deduct some money from the jar every time you swear. At the end of four weeks, while giving the money in the jar to the child, he said, "See how much money you lost because of a bad language?" If you wish, we can play this game with your child one more time this month, I would love for you to buy that toy you want, etc. You can make an agreement with expressions.
