[QUOTE="Adrift, post: 114667, member: 2158"] We don't pick this battle much although I will say something when I hear him. There is no punishment...he'd be punished until he's 40. I hate it though. I don't "think" he does it a whole lot around other adults although I'm not sure, no one has ever complained. The one explanation I really like came from our therapist when I asked him how to encourage difficult child not to swear. He basically said to tell them that when they (or anyone for that matter) swears a lot it means they are much closer to being out of control. It's certainly true for my son and I think he's worked hard over the past 6 months to gain some control over his anger. I'm not sure it works but I do think he hears it and it doesn't make him swear more! He uses the word "gay" a lot too and it makes me completely crazy!!! I don't think at heart he's homophobic but he doesn't seem to get the fact that he sure sounds it! I'd love to hear suggestions of things that have worked for people to decrease the swearing and other inappropriate language! [/QUOTE]
