My LO must’ve picked up from somewhere these expressions because we never say this at home. But he literally all day says things like “you’re so weird” you’re poop, you’re tushy”. It’s literally a running commentary all day. How do I get him to stop?? He is not a kid who responds to bribes/charts.
I second ignoring it. If you make it into a big deal it'll turn into a big deal.
He's 4.
When he talks nicely compliment him on the beautiful language he's using.
Bathroom words I walk them to the bathroom and say these are bathroom words, you can go in and say as many as you need to and come out when you are done. Other things like weird, I say we don’t talk that way and I ask them if they need some time alone to figure out how to talk nicely. I don’t agree that it’s age appropriate or normal, and kids only talk this way because so many have this attitude and are influencing other kids.
