My 4 year-old son likes to dress up in girls' clothes and play house. This type of play is a way that children learn about the adult world. Preschool children actively try out many roles. My child frequently uses obscene words. You may want to check the child's knowledge about what the word means.
Children often use a word without knowing what it means.
When you explain what the word means, they often don't want to use it. Teach your child words that are OK to use when he or she feels angry or frustrated. Many parents wish to discourage the use of obscenities. Talk about what the words mean with your child, and explain that these words may bother others. Many parents are concerned about how television portrays sexual issues and sexual behavior.
