Shit I hate this fight against bad words!
Our most recent goal has been to replace the boundaries in the household. With Kaylin the first goal has been listening/obeying, with Brandon, it has been bad words. If he says a bad word, he will immediately get soap in his mouth. We took away warnings and 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances. We thought that after a few "lessons" that he would "get it". This is not true! This boy has had ALOT of soap, and still keeps swearing. He knows what bad words are, knows he cannot say them, knows the consequences for when he does. Yet he keeps on talking nasty, the "lessons" are not making any impact. So, I ask you--what do you do next? I refuse to let him continue talking this way.

Might take a few weeks of that to sink in... You could also add something like a time out to the punishment if the soap alone isn't cutting it...
Hope it works out, he's such a cute little booger.
Time out is usually a punishment for us. He will do his time out, but when it's over he gets "stuck" saying the same thing over and over for up to 45 minutes (sometimes longer), repeatedly saying "I want to get out", or "You said I have to stay here foreva", stuff like that, usually with some rocking. Time out doesn't seem to do for us what it's suppose to. When he had behavior support specialist coming to the house she "taught" us how to do time out "correctly" and after she saw what he did, told us not to do it anymore.
