My 2 year old is starting to get a potty mouth. Her babysitters DH talks way to much in front of her and Know it is rubbing off. I have talke to my babysitter, and we have that resolved, but what do I do about her mouth? She is not real bad, but once is to much for a 2 year old. Tonight she told my kitty, "get off the bed you little bitch" I was shocked. Completely floored. I know they say to ignore it, but that just makes her do it more and more. TOnight we put her in the corner. GOnna try that nad see how it works, but she cried and screamed... and I do not think it is fair for a 2 year old to carry on like that. Any Advice? PLEASE?????????????????????

You might not like my suggestions, but this is just what worked for us.
We tried the time out and we also did soap in the mouth... not a lot, just scraped some on the top of his teeth.
It worked wonders
