Your 7 YO may have the respect to not curse around his parents, adults, etc., but when that kid is alone on the playground, trust me, he curses like a sailor.  I was the same way - I have way too much respect for my parents to ever curse in front of them still, but my brothers and I cursed up a storm at school/away from my parents.  Make sure he knows that if he does it again, not only will he not be acting like an adult (works really well on a 7 YO) but you will leave him on a doorstep 15 miles out of town (joke).

Teach the kid respect. Parents are to respected, as long as they are drug abusing little fucks of course. Though, no offense intended, you should be a little more tough with your kid. Play sports, get the kid to do stuff out side, from this topic and what you said in it I get the feeling you guys dont do much except sit inside play video games, watch tv, etc.

So, curse the kid out, scare the shit out of him, dont hit him, hes to young for that, wait till hes in his teens or so. Grounding and shit is stupid, tell the kid hes making himself look like a idiot. Tell him there are only certain times to curse, when some bad shit happens, but make sure he understands that scraping his knee or something isnt a reason to run around cussing.

My mother used to slap me in the mouth when I said bad things/words at anything. Imagine what happened to me when I told her that she was a fat hippo .

Swearing ("Cursing") Is second in line on the list of "alltime stupidest things the world has created". First of coarse being religion. And, wouldn't you know it Swearing is a product of religion. I draw this conclusion because the idea of some english words being "Bad" is just stupid, and religion has been known for imposing and inforcing rediculous beliefs on people

First off, in my opinion, abuse, such as Hitting, screaming at the kid, etc, NEVER work. A Reward system is proven to be far more effective. But i think the root of the problem here isn't your son, i think its whoever told him to say the bad word. censoring videos, and games, will have no effect whatsoever- kids here swear words daily in the "real world"  I Think if you really want the problem to stop, you should first find out who told your kid to swear. If you think the kid is lying, the best way to get the truth is to say things like ok, lets call the parrents, and call the police too. It works on kids. If you think big punishment is needed, take away what he wants most, and uses on a daily bases
