I simply used my booming, stern tone that she knows means business and proceeded to tell her that she was not to repeat what she had heard. I said I don't care who she heard say it, but that isn't something little girls say. I asked if she understood, to which she said yes... then laid on the tears.

I always think that adopting a no touch, stern talking approach early on is the best approach. Physical contact only leads to aggression by them later.

Good luck
I totally agree with this!

I don't deny that my son hears me say bad words. Wes once called me out and said, "You dropped the F bomb 5 times during that phone conversation." Okay. Fair. I did. For those who play with my hubby on XBox... How is his swearing? LOL
