I know she is missing her parents right now and she probably just acting out, but how do I stop her from using bad words. I tell her that they are bad words and she shouldn't use them and even threated to put alittle hot sauce or pepper in her mouth. What is a correct way of handle this. Reply to this Question |

 Work with her on positive direction of her anger. Assure her, it's OK to be angry, but instead of using this bad word, let's try something else. It's just a matter of retraining her to respond different.

 My son did the same thing at that age and everyone would go OOOOOOOHHHH he said a curse. So I told everyone when he says a bad word do not act so amused and I would say to him that is not how we speak to each other in this house and 2 minutes in the corner eventually he stopped.
