    How would you handle?

    How would you handle a 3 year old always wanted to talk about boobies, birds, vajayjay's and poop. Sometimes using the word shit. I am all for kids knowing about it but some other parents aren't... Not sure what I should say to his mom... Any ideas, or do you think it's okay?

    I would write mom an email, only because I don't want the child to get the extra attention of being present during the conversation. I would email and let her know, these are the words that he's saying. Tell her the behaviour is not acceptable in your home and you are doing X Y and Z to assisst in stopping it. Then ask what she's doing at home to prevent it.

    if the child was talking about it out of context or just talking about it just so he/she could talk about it then I would simply tell him that it wasnt polite and if he/she wanted to continue to talk about ______ then they could do it in the bathroom because that where _____ belongs. As for the swearing... I would definatley discuss that with mom or dad.

    yep! just let mom know this seems to be the childs topic of choice lately, ask her to handle it at home. Let her know your plan of action while the child is with you..i.e.: you will inform the child there is a time and place to talk about these things and perhaps also to only talk about these things with mommy or Daddy. use the phrase. "this is not daycare talk, this is home talk"
    not a big deal for kids to question body functions and such, but its really not our job to educate that personal of topic, for Mom's and Dad's to address.

    Bees have pointy stingers. Though birds where more "lady like"

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
