[QUOTE="Star*, post: 114633, member: 4964"] Hi family, I've been seeing more and more new faces (so to speak) and it seems that people in general don't like cursing, or swearing - especially if it comes out of the mouth of your child. As parents of difficult child's we have to pick and choose our battles/issues with our children; always doing the parenting ChaCha. Do you think foul language is a battle worth picking with your child? Do you believe that swearing and cursing lead to other bad behaviors; or do you think it's inconsequential? Personally? I don't speak like that, I don't care to hear it. I am however human and have been known to utter a few colorful words given an ungrateful situation. As far as using it in my every day language, in public, around children, friends - no. I got an education and enjoy finding alternative methods of expressing myself verbally. But when you have a child with limited coping skills - is this a place you start with? I was told in therapy with our son - If he can control his verbal outbursts he can learn to control other things. We were simply instructed to ignore that which we could during tantrums, and state we didn't want/like/need to hear it in everyday speak. I believe it is a good and easy starting place IF the parents aren't engaging in the same behaviors. It's not a MAJOR issue, but it's a place to begin. Just wondered about your thoughts. Maybe someone struggling can find something in here that will help. Thanks Star [/QUOTE]
