Please do not use profanity. I have a child who sits next to me while I use

the computer who sometimes reads my messages.

Hi Tabitha,

I did not write either of the posts which you find offensive, but I just

wanted to say that maybe a child should not be reading mail obviously

written to adults. I mean, maybe this diet will affect someone's sex life

in a positive or negative way, (who knows) and they might want to share that

info.

I think the people on this list are a respectful bunch. Some adults choose

to use words you (or I) may not choose to use. If this is a concern dor

you, I would make sure your child does not read your mail. If she is old

enough to read your mail, she is old enough to respect your privacy.

Thanks for listening,

Debra

She is younger than you might think but testing out mentally as 2 years older

than her real age. She doesn't intentionally read my mail but is still young

enough that she wants to be glued to me all the time. She picks up things

and repeats and imitates them--and I am trying to be as careful as I can

about what goes into her body (ER) as what goes into her brain.

Thanks for listening to me,

Thank you for your suggestions. We have tried ignoring, then rewarding good language. That did help a little. The we I am speaking of is my husband and I along with his teachers and aides at his elementary school. We have tried taking privledges away such as his computer, DVD player, MP3, and television. That was no help at all. We will try Wash your mouth out with soap. At this point, I am willing to try almost anything.

The isolation is now causing other problems. I had to pull him from after school care for the next couple of weeks. The sudden exposure to the other children was more than he could take, after being alone all day with this teachers. He was only there for 30 minutes, but he still could not manage it.

Thank you,

Muriel

Hi,

My son when he says profanity or makes fake burps in a restaurant I threaten to "wash his mouth out with soap" and I haven't needed to but just the threat of it usually works, but also like Pat mentioned ignoring works wonders too.

My almost 7 year old son has started using profanity at school. He heard his older sister using this language before she moved away. The school has isolated him from the main student body. We have tried word replacement. It helped but not a total solution. Does anyone have any ideas?Any help is most appreciated. Muriel
