I think profanity is a great discussion to have between adults and kids, an issue where both sides have their stake. I would recommend starting with the question to your oldest about what they think about profanity generally, and maybe you can elicit their candid opinion not conditioned on what they think you want them to say... Good luck with that discussion and I'd love to hear later how that goes. Email me at Cooper@leftyparent.com Jennifer… thanks for your comment and you’re welcome.

This is a tough subject for me. Like your wife, I don't use much of the language unless I'm really really angry, and then it conveys an emotion more than anything else. A lot of the swearing I hear on our street is derogatory and used to belittle people. My oldest is just entering adolescence and I'm struggling with what to say when the situation comes up. Your article made me less afraid of that future discussion. Thanks for this article. This is a tough subject for me.
