I didn’t know what to do when my adorable preschooler said “F$%k Mommy, you’re my enemy” after being told she couldn’t have a juice box.
When my oldest was four years old, he had a procedure done at the Children’s Hospital that involved getting an IV inserted into his little arm. Unfortunately, the nurse kept blowing his veins, but rather than calling for the IV team, she kept trying. And trying. And poking.. Finally, after what must have been her fifth attempt and another excruciating prick, my son looked at her and calmly said, “You stupid f$&k.
I would like to say that was the last time my son ever swore or that he only swears in extreme circumstances, like when a stubborn nurse is causing him pain, but that would be a lie. In actuality, though, he doesn’t swear that much. Soles suggests that the best way to deal with F-bombs is a calm, measured reaction . A strong reaction only reinforces the idea that these words are powerful and can get a response from people pretty quickly. “For young kids experimenting with power, that’s the kind of thing that sticks,” she says.
But what happens if, even after all the explaining and fun games, your child still prefers “asshole” to “asparagus”?
