There are swear words in this episode so please make sure that little ears aren’t listening 🙉 ...! 

This episode is all about when your child, all of a sudden, says a swear word (or something they think is a swear word!) and what you can do about it. We spoke about: 

  • How sometimes in families where there is so much swearing that the children don’t actually swear! 
  • Overuse of swear words and how much more it is heard on a day to day basis now (including in songs on the radio and as graffiti!! - Claire has a funny story about this 😬). 
  • When children take you by surprise with a swear word! 
  • When children copy us 🫣!! 
  • How children love making people laugh and how it can be confusing when we then change our reaction from laughing to saying "no don’t say that!". Ways we can react instead. 
  • What to say when children ask what a swear word means 😳. 
  • Some of Claire’s funny experiences of children swearing in nursery! 
  • When children get older and use swear words.
