[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never banned swear words, just told DD that many people did not like it and considered it rude, but if she wanted to swear, fine, just use the word appropriately. We never really reacted when DD used the occasional swear word when young. Now that she's 14, she almost never swears.[/quote] This. Also, we've discussed the distinction between saying the occasional swear word and calling someone a name, e.g., "Oh, s***!" vs. "You're a piece of s***!" [/quote] This. Teaching my kid to know his audience. He's 5, and mostly says, "I heard someone say ****," so he's not really saying the word as much as talking about it. (LOL). But he does occasionally say something like, "this was a really sh*tty day," and I get it. [/quote]
