I may be naive but I find this shocking. Such a brazen demonstration of physical power over a small child.

| There's a reason kids used to be much better behaved. Now parents like OP are scared of their kids and worry about being best friends. |
It's a lot better than slapping or paddling. Children are born feral and it is up to parents to tame them to live in a civilized society. I have heard 6 yr olds use the "f" and "s" in practically every sentence. Obviously, they are simply using the language they hear their parents use everyday but I don't want these kids around my children. |

| Her “how do you put soap in a 9 year olds mouth” question should tell her everything she needs to know about why this is an ineffective method of teaching kids not to swear. |
This is just wrong |
| It gives them something tangible to associate with a behavior. It's not pleasant and it's not meant to be. But it doesn't harm them. They won't like it and that's okay. |

It's just not necessary.
Young kids who swear a lot get it from their parents. They might learn specific swear words at school, but if they are swearing in conversation, it's because that's how the adults in their lives talk. So if you don't want your kids to swear, don't swear. If your kids do swear occasionally, you correct and suggest a different word. They are experimenting, testing boundaries, seeing how you'll react. Stay calm, tell them you don't like that word, and ask them to restate. It really doesn't take much of this to curb a kid's interest in swearing. It's really not that hard to teach kids not to swear without physically assaulting them, so I don't understand why you would physically assault them. That will just teach them that it's okay to assault other people if you don't like their behavior. Seems bad. |
Please. Kids talk a lot of nonsense they don't hear from their parents and get from their friends. Bruh, 6-7, the list is endless. |
Bruh and 6-7 aren't swear words, it's just kids' slang. And they don't exclusively get that from friends, they get it from older siblings and media. Teachers even sometimes use teens like that to be funny and connect with kids. It's harmless so who cares. Swear words are different. The only kids I know who swear comfortably have parents who swear a lot and who expose their kids to lots of foul language in media. |

| That's actually a good idea. I should try it. |
| They don’t strike me as the brightest group. |
Yeah because they were scared. And then it comes out later when they are maladjusted adults who don’t know how to feel or communicate what they want. So…. Have fun with that. |

There’s a reason I no longer speak to my mother anymore… washing out my mouth with soap from the time I could speak until I left the house after graduation, getting whipped with my father’s thick leather belt, getting told I was stupid, fat, etc and spending most of my childhood grounded was only the start of it.
I now realize I had undiagnosed ADHD but once my mother had my IQ tested, she became even more irritated. I wasn’t even a “bad” kid, just active and messy. |
