A mother is going viral after boldly explaining why she lets her young daughter swear freely while referring to parents who don’t as ‘hypocrites’.
Speaking for the famous platform called Cafe Mom, this mother explained why it’s so important to let your childrenswear as much as they want. The mom whose name is Alissa spoke about how her daughter is given the wild freedom to curse as much as she feels like on a regular basis.
Shockingly, Alissa is an educational professional who says that she makes it a point that she doesn’t swear too much out of her habit, but it’s not the same story for her husband. According to her, he loves dropping the F-bomb wherever and whenever he goes.
Due to this particular reason, Alissa that her little daughter has also picked up on the not-so-great habit, using swear words left and right. But if you think this mum would have any issue with that as a parent, think again.
“I’m totally okay with it,” Alissa explains. “As a parent, I believe it’s best that we model out the behavior that we want our children to adopt. Hence, I believe it is absolutely hypocritical for adults to hold young children against a standard that does not adhere to our own selves,” she added.
Alissa feels that is the reason why she lets her child use swear words freely and with absolute ease because it’s better than labeling them as ‘adult words.’ “You need to understand that all words have power and that’s why young kids need to be allowed to swear without any form of the penalty attached.”
Alissa went on to explain how this move attempts to take out the negative energy that’s attached to cursing at an early age, hence making kids better equipped to differentiate between when and where to use them.
“They need to know when they are actually degrading someone because that serves no purpose,” she boldly mentioned.
What do you think of this mother’s stance? Should swear words be allowed in a young child’s vocabulary or not?
