Swearing

Hi,

I'm new to this site.

I am Nanna to my amazing 5 year old grandson who was diagnosed with ASD at nearly 3 years old.

He is in mainstream school and struggles on a daily basis. 

My daughter was pulled aside today about his swearing. 

Does anyone have any advice on how we deal with this both at home and school. 

Thank you. 

  • Yeah this is very difficult, My nephew is about the same age, he also swearing his little head off.

    and has ADHD.

    the thing is, his really got into Football, Singing all football songs and doing all the swearing words along and even making hes own songs up.

    I didn't really know about the swearing as i helped my nice with some jobs outside in the garden was zaky, playing alone with a football swearing very very bad.

    I said Zakie come here, i want a word with you. 

    In the best ways possible i told him, you are part Cristian zaky, and you are speaking the DEvils words.

    He reply was, Am i spking the devils words.

    I said yes you are, Cristian kid, do not spk those words, do you know you will go to hell for spking those words,

    God does not spk those ways, you know this Right. He said uncle, i know, i will not go to heaven for spking devils words. 

    i said, yes that is correctly the way it is, if you feel that you are to swear say something nice, Make a word you like - ie football, and remind yourself, so give all bad words a good word okay.

    so he made some words up for himself and had a little laughs' and for a few hours, it was kinds of working. 

    But i had to leave and then grandma came home from work, and Zakie he did it all over again with swearing, but my last words before i went out the door, was Zakie, remind yourself you are spking the devils words.

    Remember what i told you, to replace with words you enjoy the most.  The kids will grow out of it, but yeah it only takes another kid to 

    do the swearing and it all triggers off again. Schools are having a major problem with the swearing, each and every schools all my kids go to are the same. its really is a big problem.
