If this belongs in a different forum, I apologize.

Today my daughter said a curse word. Nothing too awfully terrible, but when she dropped some milk on the floor she said "Oh, ****." I was slightly amused but didn't want to let on, because I don't want her to think that this behavior is okay. I said "Amaris! Don't say that, it's a bad word." No doubt she learned this language at school.

So, what say you? If this behavior continues, should I ignore her, scold her...? Opinions are much appreciated! :D

Homeschool her. :lol:

My daughter also does this... Me and my hubby dont really care that much about it as long as she doesnt say it out in public

How old is she?

Just make sure SHE knows not to say it in public.

She is about to turn 2... I dont see why she should be punished for saying something that she hears her mom and dad say all the time... And its not like she isnt going to learn about it sooner or later... I would just rather her learn about it from home and learn that there are appropriate times and places that you can say these words

If she stubs her toe or gets a nasty cut, i think a little let-out is appropriate, but if she simply fails a test or you run out of her favorite food or something, cuss words are not needed.

Thank you very much, your insight is very helpful. I don't want my daughter to feel chained or constricted, I want to cut her some slack but sometimes making the call is difficult.
