Your son, your little angel, that being that gives off tenderness in every gesture, that makes you shiver with emotion goes and, for your total and absolute astonishment, begins to shout “Today we are going to eat poop! Caaaaaca Poop! That comes out of the ass! ” Congratulations, you just entered the stage of the poop-ass-fart-pee. Why do children have this phase? Why are you so funny? And what interests us all: what can we do to try to get them out of the loop poop-poop-poop-poop? How fun is fatherhood!

Sooner or later it will happen, and then everything in life will be poop, pee, look like an ass or smell like a fart for your son.

In Babies and more Life with laughter is better: how to favor children's sense of humor

The stage of the poop-ass-fart-pee

Between the ages of 3 and 5 or 6, your child is perfecting that language he just learned, and as part of that improvement is going to include vocabulary.

We like them more or we like them less, the reality is that poop, ass, fart and pee are words, some that we have also probably told you a few times: remember when you left the diaper, is not the stage where you have most times said the word "pee" of your life?

Moreover, in these years they are fully aware of their body ... and their functions, so the entire excretory process may seem fascinating. Already positions could be more interested in other parts such as sight or upper part of the digestive system, not the end, but ... so are they.

As they grow his sense of humor will change with them and this stage will pass ... although I do not have good news for you: the poop may stop doing so much grace per se, but the curse festival will come. Luck.

Why are eschatological humor funny?

Because it's fun

At home we sure have made some odd joke with the eschatological since he is a baby: “Oops, let's take that diaper off pestoso! ”(Accompanying the phrase of a funny face and covering our nose, in an interpretation worthy of an Oscar), or“ What a fart you have thrown, with how small your culete is! ”… And so a thousand more examples. I'm wrong?

In Babies and more Care with the language you use in front of children

The eschatological thing makes us funny to humans since the world is world, and if that happens to adults that the odd filter we have, imagine the children, who filter between zero and nothing.

The difference is that perhaps we, adults, the eschatological grace in the framework of a joke, and our little ones, how beautiful, it is enough to repeat, again and again, and again, and another, the word poop while running hall up, hall down.

For our reaction

There are many words, but that make dad and mom, the neighbor, the doorman and the grandparents react, not so many.

It is not that children are looking to bother us, annoy us, or get us out of our boxes on purpose, with a plan drawn (remember: they are children, not geniuses of evil), but obviously our reactions modulate their behavior, they have an effect on them.

If the reaction to a “This smells like a cow's ass” is a monumental anger, a reprimand and a little discomfort, they will know that they have touched target, that word must be the sea of importance because… “Look how they have put mom and dad when I said it! ”

What to do when our child starts with the poop-ass-fart-pee

The first thing is to arm yourself with patience, because this moment will come, whatever you do, and the more ugly you get, the worse it will be.
Do not be indignant, don't scold him, do not put the focus on those words because then you will be lost and the musical thread of your life will be composed of eschatological versions of the most popular children's songs.
Do not tell him that "It is not fun" because it is: for them It is the most cutting of planet earth.
Remember that it is a most normal stage, and that will happen.
Join the party: If from time to time you also make a joke of this kind, if these words come out of your mouth graciously, you will be taking away the halo of glamor from the forbidden. If dad and mom also laugh at this sometimes it is no longer forbidden, which loses its appeal a little.

But, Does this mean I should let him say whatever he wants? Of course not. With this, as with many other things, we must not censor, not be angry without meaning ... but explain that there is a moment and a place for everything, and that certain words are not appropriate in certain places.
