- Before dealing with your child's swearing behaviour both parents need to talk about their own values about swearing, what they think is OK and what they think is not OK.
- In some families one parent swears and the other does not, or one parent disapproves of swearing while the other does not - this gives mixed messages to the children.
- Some families think it is OK for adults to swear but not for children - and this too gives mixed messages to the children.
- also it all depends on what they sit and watch on the television.
- I think it has a lot to answer for nowadays.
- I wouldnt have dared to use that f word when i was young, I would have got the strap.Thats half the trouble theses days , you can't even smack your own children, and the teachers can't disipline them anymore. So im'e glad i wont be around in the next 50 years . My god what a world it will be then. Rose
