when my children have used socially unacceptable words i have ignored them totally. i don't use the word - "naughty" at all, even to talk about a word as i believe it can lead to children thinking they are naughty if they use that word. children use all words they have heard - hence learn how to use the language spoken - and if they have heard a swear word and have a great reaction from a loved one well they are going to use it again. my older children have used swear words - seldomly - as pre schoolers but with a lack of response or reaction realised it didn't get them anything or mean anything so stopped using it. neither of them swear ever now - that i know of i think that maybe if the toddler has gotten a great reaction initially it might take some time of ignoring the word until they are bored with it - keep ignoring it will work
