Bad words in kids and adults
Bad words are something that is frequently seen today in both children and adults, people use them anywhere, either to refer to something or to insult someone, but what is the problem in saying bad words? In the case of children, the frequent use of such words in the classroom is seen with great concern, they address their classmates and even teachers with obscene language.
But why do school-age children have this vocabulary?
There are many reasons that influence, the first one could be said is that if at home dad mom or another adult expresses themselves with vulgar language, children will imitate such behavior and express themselves in the same way since they will see that it is something so common at home that they will not see anything wrong with saying these words. Another reason most youth or children swear is that they might be frustrated or just to get the attention of those around them.
Now I can assure you as a teacher that if I was given a coin for every swear word I hear in my classroom, I would get rich fast. Since it is very common to hear these bad words among the conversations of young people and adults. For me, this issue is of the utmost importance since what our way of speaking reflects a lot on the person we are, if when speaking you always use obscene language, it is simply a person who does not have a formed personality.
How can we help our children and young people not to say bad words
Set the example, if your child hears you every day saying rude things together with his friends and having obscene language, he will copy your example, but otherwise, you try as little as possible to have vulgar speech, your child will see it and copy your example.
You have to teach them to express themselves well, correcting them every time they say a bad word, and congratulating them as they improve. We must teach our young people that the way they speak determines who their friends are and how much they will respect them, whether at school, at work or anywhere.
Movies, video games and the songs they choose will greatly influence their vocabulary since there are many songs and games that only encourage vulgar language, for this reason as adults we must supervise the games and songs that our children listen to. The truth is that this type of obscene language is everywhere, but if we instill a good vocabulary in our home, our children will surely avoid having obscene language.
