Since the birth of my neice, she's now 3, I have realized just how quickly children pick things up. Now she has turned into the "bad word" police. Everytime I slip up she says"Oooh, you said a bad word" and shakes her finger at me.
I think in some instances the media plays a role but the family should play an even bigger role. I also understand that isn't very realistic for all families. I often hear people refer to the "old days" when if a child did something wrong anyone in the community could discipline the child...Is that even an option now?
