What Could Cause A Child To Do This ?

The "F" word has been so widely accepted in today's world, and it seems if you are repulsed by the word you're in the minority. I, personally, don't care for the use of the word. In fact it was our daughter's first word! We were in a crowd of ladies from the church we were going to when my daughter got a happy look on her face, her eyes sparkled like diamonds under a spotlight, and I knew trouble was coming. She looked up happy as if she had fallen into a vat of ice cream and uttered the famous word "F-CK"! She got that from her father. I nailed him about the use and managed to get him to quit using it. Then, we were talking to our pastor when my daughter got that same look. I tried to get my husband to finish the conversation, but no such luck. Again, with this thrilled look my daughter uttered her first sentence "Bull $hit!" Another of my husband's favorite sentence. I got him to quit using that too. People don't realize how awful that word sounds coming from their mouths. Handsome men and beautiful women seem to turn ugly when they consistently use that word. Even my son in law used it constantly while they were staying at my home. I finally nailed him that I didn't want that word used and I didn't appreciate being woken up first thing in the morning to his throwing a fit using the "F" word and slamming around my home. I don't use the word and also try to control my usage of other vulgar words, unfortunately one of my favorites is $hit. Which I am trying to replace with a less vulgar word, it sets a bad example for the youth of this country...but what do we expect when the words are used in song lyrics, profanity is allowed in the movies and on television and in "literature"?

Hes excited because he learned a new word that hes not supposed to say, and she likes being defiant.s

To your surprise there is a small child, maybe two, possible three years of age, on her back under the table, kicking the bottom side, yelling the F word, consecutively. "F***, F***, F***, F***, F***, F*** .." Well it could be an unruley child who has learned bad behaviour from his or her parents/caregivers/family etc OR it could be a child with Tourettes..who also unfortunately has been exposed to less than savoury language...OR it could be a child who has other mental disorders who again has been exposed to bad language...There really are several possiblities

EvrWonder hi I have a quick solution to that , a little child that young repeats the actions of his parents, I will bet either dad or mom got upset by something and maybe even sat down and kicked at something and yelled F@@@ ,F@@@, F@@@ until he or she got over being upset. children are great little mimickers and often repeat the same exact actions of the parents.Shocking yes, but understandable as one of the parents or an older brother did this same thing when angry. I hope the mom explained to the child that that is not acceptable behavior then either she or dad or the big brother realized their child or brother had got this bad action from watching them. shame on whoever taught that sweet litle child such ugly behavior.

I am sure it's parents' fault that this kid is using such terrible words in such a young age. I find it awful. I think that the father or mother of this kid weren't watching their language while having this kid nearby. I wonder if the very first word of this kid was "F***" instead of "mommy" or "daddy".

hello Evr, I think the child used to hear the word *F...* And,the child used to see the family fighting and freaking out the same manner the child is doing. The child doesn't mean what he/she is doing...it is a normal thing for him/her when feeling bored or had tantrums. And what he/she acted is from what he/she sees on his/her surrounding(the family) How family member acts and treat each other inside their homes contribute a lot to a child's behavior. And,a child doesn't know what is right or wrong...but,follows examples he/she had seen or heard from older people around them.

Wow! Umm, the only thing I can say is that she hears it at home, and often. Also, she learned the behavior she was exhibiting at home too. I hate to speculate, but there is a lot wrong going on at home. At that age, a child is like a mirror, she was only doing what she sees at home, and to do it so loud like that, it has to be on a constant basis. But this child nor her family seems to be in your realm of people, so one can only hope that someone close sees this problem and gets the family the help they need.

Hi EvrWonder, Very very sad that this should be happening but perhaps not surprising. There are are great many children everywhere who are not loved and treated as they should be. I don't mean to place blame here because often when parents are not doing a good job, it's because of the way they were raised. It often goes back many generations. Parents as well as children need help in such cases. Blessings.

Children learn exactly what their parents teach them. If you do not punish improper behavior, then they will learn improper behavior is alright.

You just hit the nail on the head.... That child could not have gotten it anywhere else.... Also consider TV and company that comes to the house.... When we had our granddaughter we did not allow language like that in our house and we also were picky about what we watched while she was awake....

I dont think there are decent people who would actually teach the child such behaviour. I am guessing that the parents and the people the child is always around with may be using such words regularly that the child has picked up. A little child is very vigilant to his or her surroundings so whatever there is that adults, especially people he/she trusts, are doing may seem right to him/ her. I am also guessing that technology might have had a great impact on this child's life as well as other children of that generation. TV and movies are everywhere, even my very little brother knows how to operate my laptop. Technology is fastdeveloping and maybe a lot of parents are having a hard time living with the frequent changes of everything. THese children obviously need guidance and teachings and I hope it is not yet the end. I hope parents would be responsible enough to correct their children's behaviours. parents should do their job.

Hi EvrWonder, I know that came to a shock to you. It would have me also. My boys are 15 and 25 they never did such a thing because they knew better. They would whine and were told right then to stop or there would be a punishment because big boys do not behave like that . The child learned the word at home there is no doubt of that. The part that surprises me is that the mother allowed the behavior. Why wasn't she right there to stop and change the child's actions? Any parent will tell you especially in today's world you never walk away from your kids to look at something because they just may be gone when you turn around. You hold their little hands and if they are to immature for that then they stay home with a sitter.

it is really shocking to hear little kids shouting words like that. and you know what many kids as young as two years old speak this word already. they have pick up this from their playmates or maybe from their immediate household (parents, siblings etc.). this is really alarming as little children should not speak words like this F*** instead of i love you, thanks you... they are growing in the environment when people are carefree about the words they are saying. they do not care if little children might pick up their words for they knew this just right. sometimes elders are happy hearing their child speaking the F word so the child may have the wrong perception that what he/she have said is right.

my knee-jerk reaction is that these kids have a television overdose. they hear those things on television. if not, they hear that four-letter word too often -- at home, in the neighborhood or from somebody they regularly go with... sorry for them, their parents should be responsible in giving them a good upbringing...

My guesses: Tempertantrum with some really bad role models. Tourettes syndrome with people who have used that word around the child, said it shouldn't be used, so only during corprolailia moments says it over and over again. Combination of the two.

TV I say is the number one cause.. well, in my opinion.. TV + bad behaviour + spoiled brat + didn't get what they want + tantrum x A.D. syndrome= "on her back under the table, kicking the bottom side, yelling the F word, consecutively.." lol

Well with a child of that age it sounds like the parents or someone uses those words around the child and not knowing any better the child thinks it is an acceptable word.

To use that word that freely, the child would have to spend several hours a day in an atmosphere where the word is used freely. That place was probably the home, but it could be the place where he or she is receiving day care.

Children always seem to pick up on the words that we don't want them to use. Obviouusly there is someone around that child that uses that kind of language. I remember when my daughter was small, she picked up B**** from my mother-in-law and decided later that same day that she didn't want her grandma to change her diaper and said, "Stop you B****." The language may not come from mom and dad, but someone that the child is around on a regular basis has used that kind of language.

i lived with a family for about a month and they had a child about 3 years of age who would constantly tell you to suck a dic.k or call you a fa.ggot or scream eat my pus.sy!!!! and various other things in fact me and my girlfreind had caught her masterbaiting a few times it was sad. it was because she didnt exactly have the best mother and brother i wish she would be taken and put into a better home but the mother had to many strings to pull. hopefully this just make her a stronger person when she grows up
