[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at an event and there was discussion regarding the use of the "N" word.  I am confident that my children do not know what it means - but also feel the need to introduce them to the concept of ethnic slurs and curse words so that they are not naïve and use it because someone else is or they heard the word and do not really understand it.

I asked my children after the event what curse words they know and my 7 YO knew a lot more than my 9 YO (not a surprise given their personalities)

Also - is there any resources on how to discuss both the use of curse words and ethic slurs?

Exactly  how do you plan on teaching this?

Coming up with a list of words and saying don't say this to or about abc because of xyz?

They say it or hear it you discuss it. Contrary to what  some think making sure your kids have friends of different  races, SES backgrounds s, and cute tolerance  books and kits does not stop them from  using the words themselves.[/quote]
