Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 --- Kris, Sounds like you have just about tried everything - Trent use to enjoy swearing - yes that particular four lettered word followed by shit - except he would say it with a 'b' sound. So Buck shit - I then had the problem because buck isn't a swear word his siblings decided that they could say buck - fortunately put a stop to that quickly. As to Trent - it really seemed to just disappear - although occasionally he will drop it - wholly and soley for reaction. He is very quickly told off in a stern voice, he laughs and that is it until the next time. I feel that Sierra is saying stupid now for reaction, so maybe another bout of ignoring may be the answer. Otherwise bribery/blackmail - Santa doesn't leave pressies for girls who say stupid all the time! All the best, Jan, mother of Trent 20yo w/DS - 7 more sleeps and I'm getting really excited.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I remember when learned the word " retard. " The teachers were horrified that HE of all people would say such a thing!! LOL I told them very definitely that he did NOT learn that word at home, so guess where he learned it. They had me come in and do " the DS talk. " He still says it from time to time. I have had to take away things to extinguish some of his behaviors. He has had videos and tv priveleges revoked for that. Elaine stopping bad language Hi everyone: I have a tricky situation I'm trying to deal with Sierra. She learned the word STUPID from school and guess what?? She won't stop saying it, very loudly, non-stop. It has become such a problem on the bus.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 calls people dork, geek and loser- what are big siblings for??? I think if he did this at school, people wouldn't realize what he is saying (yet)- except he makes the L sign on his forehead when he says loser. Hey dork is a pretty common greeting for him and his brother...lol. I turned on my cell phone once and saw Mom is a dork - oh, kids, you gotta love them. TJ did take to get his haircut and he came home looking just like him...sigh! TJ looks great with a military haircut, but 's needs to be a bit longer on top to cover up his cowlicks. comes home in 20 days!!! We are starting to talk about her coming home. knows that we will go to the airport to pick her up. Poor kid, the other day the doorbell rang and he got excited and said " home? " . Oh yea, we also saw Polar Express this past weekend - loved it! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
