My very smart 2 yr just learned the b**** word, i really don't know where?
Answers:
Kids will pick up on anything. Try to explain to him that this isn't a word that you want him to use. You might have to do it several times before he gets the message. If he is still using it a little spanking when he says it won't hurt. Also try and find out if in fact he did hear it at daycae. Don't be surprised at what bad habits kids pick up at daycare. I worked in one and I couldn't believe some of the things I heard at daycare. I also had children there so that was a big concern for me. My child learned her first profane word at daycare.

Probably from you! The parents are the ones that say the stuff that most 2yr old then repeat!!! listen to yourself when u get p'd off at a bad driver or someone who annoys you on the phone... do you say it and not realise it? Definately! tell him gently that its BAD and not to say it again..if he still does scold him once :)
Television maybe, relatives or day care all children come to that point sooner or later it is best not to get mad at them and try to teach them right words.I think this article might help you

EDIT: He´s just experimenting remember children always experiment sometimes even create "their own language" they all go thru stages like when they beging teasing just to see how far you allow them to go..whenever he points to an object and says the b word you take his hand point and say the objects name..
my son did that a few times, what i did was to totally ignore him, because the more you react to it the more he will say the word

experience 40mth old boy i think i know which word u mean.. (word for the female chest area?)
i cant rember where i first knew to say that, my earliest memory was looking at a kays catologue (can't spell it) and looking at the bra pages. somehow i just called them the word. i never anything that would say it on tv, cos i was in bed well before the watershed, and i never saw any dirty mags. as far as i know i just said it!
if i was the parent i wouldent mind, cos that means he's just showing am interest in that area that i'd want him to have in the future.. its a harmless child's word in my opinion.
hope that was of some help.

sit up down
look him into the eyes and tell him
that it is wrong to say that word
maybe that will stop him from saying it
if he continues to do it, take away 1 of his toys everytime he does it.
until he aplogizes for using the word, dont return any of his toys.
I've learned that ignoring it usually makes it go away quicker at that age - if you react, there's the chance your kid will do it just to spite you (at any age...;) he's only saying what he has heard,when he say it tell him don't say that,that is a bad word.
dont over react, its a new word he has learnt from living on this planet, kids are like sponges they will absorb everything, especially words that shock grown ups.
if you just recognise the word and explain to your child that this is a silly grown up word and not have a melt down every time he says it. just reiterate that it is a silly grown up word. TV .. radio.. nabors.. somone at the stoor you chopp in take your pic.
Give him a treat for findign another godo workd to discrive what he mens when he uses the b**** word.
Condison it away. Show him ther are better words that makes him a bigger litel man then thous that stupp to the B*** words
