Help your child see that using these words is another way of saying cruel things about people or God. Since swearing is often a response to anger or frustration, help your child find other ways to express her feelings. If, after talking with you, your child continues to curse, be ready to dish out the consequences. Resist the temptation to interrogate your child in an effort to find out where he heard the word. He probably won't even know.
Children hear profanity from TV, on the playground and at relatives' homes.
Monitor your child's surroundings as much as possible. This might include turning the TV off in the middle of a show because of bad language, asking your children's friends to use clean language when they play at your house or encouraging your child to play with friends who don't swear. Above all, be aware that your example will have the most impact on your child. Watch your own words and you'll be more likely to help your kids do the same. These little books focus on important character values like self-discipline, honesty, courage, work and responsibility.
