[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that I’ve found to be important is to emphasize this is a bad word unlike other “bad words” like cursing. You don’t want them to think it’s an acceptable way to test limits. I talk about the history of the word and the ugly ways in which it was used. And I don’t care if it’s in rap music or other kids are saying it. It doesn’t make it ok for you to say. My kids understood this at around 8. [/quote] I agree. I told my kids the same thing essentially around the same age. We are white. I told them about the word, and other words including the ones my grandfather was called after he came over from Italy as a boy. I told them we aren't using any of those words, regardless of what you hear other people say-those words aren't for us and we only control our mouths, and those words aren't going to come from our mouths.[/quote]
