Stop using the bad word around her so she no longer hears it. Don't react when she says it so it's not "a big deal" to her. Children like the attention they get both positive and negative from their actions, so if she gets no reaction, and there's nothing special about the word to her and she isn't hearing it being used she'll have no reason for it any longer.

terry0001	Posted Aug 6th, 2009 at 8:15AM I would say don't worry it's just a word to her, don't say anthing to her, she will not keep saying it.. It's the people around you, tell them under no circumstances are they to use those types of words around her... Rated: +3Vote for this!
nickie73	Posted Aug 6th, 2009 at 5:23AM you can't stop them hearing these bad words can you and they repeat everything don't they? i used to tell my kids that there are some not very nice words that some grown ups use and they sound horrible when a child says them. just explain some words are not for kids. hope this helps x Rated: +1Vote for this!
koyptakh	Posted Aug 6th, 2009 at 5:29AM Hi believer80 Tell her another word that sounds similar but is nice and persuade her that is how you pronounce it. Do it again a few more times each time she gets the new word and finally end up with one nothing like the original. She is only 2 and a half! How hard can it be! Make it a word game! :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
bnow	Posted Aug 6th, 2009 at 1:54PM Don't make a big deal out of it, if they see a big reaction they are going to keep doing it cause it gets your attention. Teach her another word, she doesn't know what it means anyway, they just repeat what they hear. Rated: +1Vote for this!
