Don’t you love it when your kiddo comes home and repeats an oh-so lovely new “phrase” they learned at school or on the playground? I like to call it playground smack talk. And today I’m talking about how to handle it when good kids bring home bad words…and am asking you to share how you do, too!
My two cents…
I know there’s only so much we can do to protect our kids, albeit from owies, hurt feelings, dangerous or embarrassing situations…and being exposed to kid “smack talk.” Because part of our job as a mom is to let our little ones experience the world. Experience their own emotions and feelings, and experience expressing them.
And with that, comes the constant testing, pushing boundaries, and pushing buttons.
One of my buttons? Potty talk……..
