I'm aware that many young parents see nothing wrong with swearing in front of their children. Some think they will stop when their children are old enough to understand. No one ever really understands the need to swear, but children do know how to repeat what they hear. Think it isn't a problem? I give you a quote I heard from a 6 year old about her little sister:
"I hate her!!! I'm going to f**king kill her!!!"
(Exclamations added to emphasize the fact I was in my living room and the girl was in the park approximately 100 yards behind my house, through the trees. I could also hear her little sister sobbing uncontrollably. I wonder what she did?)
The sad thing is, she probably heard a familiar adult say something similar, supposedly out of earshot, or she heard it on TV.
Think it could be a problem now?
