Something occurred to me the other day. When I become a parent, how should I react when my child starts sprouting vulgarities?
If I were to scold them for saying it, wouldn't that encourage them even further, children being children and grasping for the forbidden fruit?
But, if I were to scold them, how do I put forth to them that it is wrong? After all, the words are but part of the English language, and it's simply the ill-fortune for the word itself to be swore by many, no?
And, if I do convince them to not utter it so much, how then should their anger and frustration be released?
Perplexed.
