maybe you can help. It would/might help the tone in our homes if we cleaned up our difficult children language.
Of course, the common one used here "it hoovers". kt hates that one but is getting a big response in school & at Residential Treatment Center (RTC). They are pushing the other kids to use it AND kt is getting the "honors" for starting the trend, if you will.
Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker & I came up with "oh fecal matter" or "oh waste material" for, well, you know.
Another we've worked on is "girl pup" or "woman dog" for that "B" word. "Girl pup" seems to be the big winner at school & at Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
It has been really lowering the tone of anger using these phrases here ~ we begin giggling & sometimes it starts a conversation of what's going on.
So do you have any suggestions for any of your difficult children's favorite terms of endearment or anger spewed out of their angry little mouths.
(Mods, if you feel this is better on watercooler feel free to move it)
