[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 331430, member: 6557"] This may be a really bad idea and has the potential to backfire. So be free to put the idea where it belongs if needed. But one idea is: He needs to develop a better understanding of when such language is appropriate and when it is not. You also need to be responsive to his interests and personality. You might try sitting down with him and talking about good and bad times for the potty language. State that if he is consistent with using only good language in appropriate situations you will reward him. Then if he is good get him a Captain Underpants book. (He will absolutely love it, you will hate it. They are terrible!!! Underpants and potty humor run ramped). The idea is to teach him that in his room, with the book(s), he can be free to enjoy his own humor and relax and let it rip. But, in school, with company ect. He needs to develop control and to be mindful and respectful of those around him. Teach when it is OK and when it is not, and reward successful efforts. The backfire part exists, because if he cannot control himself, Captain Underpants will give him lots of new material to use. On the positive side the book series are the only reason my two youngest learned to read. [/QUOTE]
