Kids Cussing? Hell yeah! (Sorry Mom!)
I just read this article, which I thought had a really good point: A mom is going viral for her thoughtful response to her kid using curse words. I obviously don’t know how to parent/raise children. I don’t know how you parents do it. . .you are awesome.
I don’t think that kids cussing is great and agree with this article in that maybe the actual cussing isn’t the most important thing to focus one (don’t worry, I won’t be dropping the f-bomb when I talk to your kids next.)
I really liked the mom’s response/position in the article:
She explains: Her son is getting to an age where he's going to copy his friends, no matter what she teaches him. Better that he learns to surround himself with good people than to adhere to a rule like "Never curse!"
Lets face it, we’ve all been influenced by friends, in good and bad ways. I think the article sums it up perfectly:
So while it's important to say 'don't swear it's not cool' it's equally important to teach your kids to strive to find friends with similar moral codes to your family.
I hope you weren't influenced in a negative way by that "fast paced" friend of yours in high school :) Love you, friend!
