My 7 year old daughter has a learning disability. When we try and displine her for something she lashes out by cursing. What am I to do about this. I have looked online and in books for something I can do but what I have found is for "normal" children that are mostly in their early teen years. HOW DO I STOP THIS!!!!!

what do you do when she does it? do you respond? if you do next time she does it look at her and say "I love you so much" and then walk away, in time she will realise that her lashing out gets her nowhere but she will also take comfort from you telling her you love her.

Do you think she does it because it gets a strong reaction from you? Next time pay attention to how you react to it. I'm working on and teaching my kids about anger. Try this with her: Tell her it's ok to get angry, the first thing you should do is say, "I'm angry." Then try to identify why you're angry: I'm angry because of: injury, insult, irritation, frustration, pain, hurt, disappointment, rejection, embarrassment, injustice, humilited, unfair, unloving, unkind. Once you can identify why you're angry, decide what you're going to do about it. Will you lash out and make the relationship worse? Or will you talk to the person to try to make the relationship better? If talking to the person about it will not make the relationship better, forgive them and let it go.
I know it's a lot and it's deeper than you're looking for but it's a great thing to learn for ourselves and it's good to teach her how to handle her anger.
