Anyone else have a mouthy 6 year old?

Question

I do have to admit, he gets it from me so I can't put all the blame on him but my gosh....if I had his mouth when I was 6 years old I would still have sores on my butt and I am 22!

I never hear anything bad from his teacher at school (kindergarten) so I'm sure it's more of a "home" thing but I don't know how to put a stop to it. He gets told about it, warned and things taken off when he gets too mouthy but I don't know what to do. He acts like he is 15 years old and I know it will only get worse. Any advice on how to calm down the attitude?

Answer 1

A couple swats on the a$$ might cure him of that.

Answer 2

You can put hot sauce on a q-tip. Also spank him. If you don't like to hit your kids try this. It worked for a while with my 4 year old who has the worse mouth ever. He gets it from his 13 year old sister. If he likes stickers then give him stickers. Every day when he is good he gets 1 sticker ( quarter, dollar, ticket, etc...). Say he gets 15 stickers, he gets to do something fun with you and you only. Be sure to be consistent and make it something he likes. If he gets say 30 stickers he can watch a movie or go out somewhere with you. Say he was bad. YOU DO NOT TAKE ANY STICKERS AWAY. I repeat do NOT take any stickers. Just don't give him a sticker for that day. When he uses up 15 or 20 stickers, ONLY take those 15 or 30 stickers. Do NOT take all his stickers. Trust me that will cause more problems. Say he is extremely bad. If this happens THEN you can take say 3 stickers away and do a timeout. If he does not learn than again take say 2 stickers and another timeout. If the same thing happens again or if he is just being over all bad then you give him a few smacks on his butt. Always follow through with your threats. Another thing you can do is take all his things out of his room and when he is good say 3 weeks he gets 1 thing back. Leave his bed and come clothes in the room though. If he is bad then you take that thing he earned back and he'll have to start all over again. Good luck!

Answer 3

No...I have a very well behaved 5 year old. But my roommate has a 7 year old deamon.



When I babysit her 7 year old mouthy daughter I take things away from her when she gives me attitude. It worked with my daughter when she was younger.



When my daughter started to have attitude and respect issues I took the TV out of her room for a month. I also stopped letting the neighbor kids come over to play and in the summer I wouldn't let her get in the pool even when the rest of the family was in the pool. She grew tired of not being allowed to do certain things...her attitude changed quickly.



Good luck!

Answer 4

Yes, my 6 year old got mouthy this year. I can still put her in her place with a stern voice, but I know that's not going to last much longer. They grow up fast these days. I didn't get mouth til 12.



Luckily she doesn't curse.

Answer 5

i wish i had an answer for you...my son is 5 and im in the same boat. we tried the whole soap in the mouth thing, it didnt work. and we tried explaining to him that just because mommy and daddy say words doesnt make it ok for him to use them..we even stuped so low as saying that smart people dont use those words lol (trying anything to get him to stop) and honestly, i've noticed that on the days we dont use the words, he doesnt either! but on the rare occasions that he does, we use a drop of hot sauce...i know it sounds mean...but some words deserve it. im a young mom, i'm 22 had him when i was 17, and this is one of those instances that i wish i had listened to my mom when she told me kids were sponges and listen and learn everything! my neighbor suggested that we ignore him when he says them and dont react, but that backfired with my son. Good luck!

Answer 6

One answer: A$$ WHIPPIN... and it works! See a lot of people don't believe in whippin their children...and they are ones that need to get there heads out of the sand and their butts out of midair... Spanking is called "Discipline" Once you have that...you have "Respect" because your'e teaching the child, to respect you as their parents or "THE AUTHORITY FIGURE" What you say, Goes. See spankings, kept me out of jail, kept me from out the streets, kept me from doing the wrong things... and made me do all the right things... My parents don't believe in spoiling us...but give us the things that we need. All my mother had to do was give a certain "Look" and that meant business... you better stop whatever you were doing and straighten up or you were gonna get it. Also, in school I did great,grades were good and all... but Oh Lord, come home with an "F" my momma would have got a switch out the tree and be like Zorro she would mark the alphabet from A- Z on our backsides... but you need to spank him, and let him know who running the show.

Answer 8

First of all, you need to watch what you're saying. YOU and your husband are his great role models. He wants to be just like you both. Second of all, you MUST be consistent. Have a set of rules and constantly enforce them. I don't care if you're too tired, puking sick or just need a break. YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT. He's going to test the boundaries over and over to make sure that you're still going to be consistent. You need to make sure he realizes you're doing it ebcause you care. You essentially, 'I love you too much to let you be a brat'. If you didn't care you'd let him run wild and get hurt, find lots of trouble. But you can't, you love him too much to let anything happen to him. Including him being a brat or disrespectful.

Answer 9

just dont say anything to egg him on. my friends mom when i go over to her house her little brother which is like 4 or 5 always curses. dont let him watch any t.v shows that may be preventing it (family guy).

Answer 10

Yes.Give him a few fanny bustings like you would have gotten and that will put a stop to it.You better do it now before it goes any farther.You obviously survived the tail bustings,so it`s not going to kill him either.
