-
yes, kids do what they see, and say what they hear.
-
They are going to hear them anyway. What was considered curse words when I was a child are just mild oaths now.
-
I think so. I heard a lot. I curse all the time now.
-
Yes. Seeing a little kid cursing just looks so wrong. As though they lost their innocence.
-
Kids learn words through hearing other talk. I think cursing is a crude form of language, so I do think it is bad. But, that is me. I have a friend who uses a variety of colorfuil language around her child who also uses those words (5 years old). She thinks it is normal. So... it depends on how you want your child talking.

I hope not, you can't go anywhere without hearing them these days.
-
I wouldn't purposely use curse words in front of them, not the 'biggies' anyway, but they'll learn on their own. I never considered the curse word thing a really big deal. The bigger deal you make of it, the more they want to say them.
