parents

When it comes to what is said by adults around children, I believe that parents should censor what they say around their children. This is because personally from growing up around younger children I have always noticed that when kids learn how to form together words and replicate, they will repeat words they hear others say. They will indefinitely repeat what parents or family members say because the kids look up to them. Parents should be careful when talking to their children because like I said before children when it comes to their parents or older siblings are highly impressionable and will things curse words that they hear from their elders, however when it comes to telling the truth parents should almost always tell the truth. But there are situations where telling the truth could hurt them mentally for example something that we see often are dads who leave when their children are extremely young to avoid imprinting on them or having anything to do with them, although it is messed up and the child should know what happened because they will find out eventually you can’t tell a five-year-old there dad walked out on them because the dad did not want the child, you kind of have to lie until they’re old enough to handle the truth. Another thing that adults should always do is mean what they say, unlike telling kids the truth does not have its rare moments when it’s ok to go against it in extreme situations, you should always indefinitely stick to your words, especially around young children. Overall teasing kids is not bad, but you must understand when you are overdoing it to the point where it can be harmful to their development, and you also must understand that they must be censored to a certain extent but introducing them to the realistic aspects that make life well life is also not a bad thing.

    I agree with your opinion, it is well said that parents should really be careful with what they say around children which it can hurt them mentally. I also like how you added from your personal experience.

    Hello,
    I agree with your opinion 100%. I agree with your point “they will indefinitely repeat what parents or family members say because the kids look up to them”, this is a very true statement because kids don’t have the ability to create their own vocabulary yet so they repeat everything believing that what right.

    Hi Sean! I agree with you in that adults should be more cautious about what they say in front of their children. After hearing one of my parents use the curse word “f*ck,” my baby sister used it herself. Another point I see eye to eye with is that parents should always tell the truth unless they know it will be detrimental to their child’s mental health. My father isn’t a perfect person, and my mother has learned when it’s appropriate to tell me things because if I knew what I know now as an 18-year-old when I was 10-12 years old, I don’t know how I’d be. Finally, I agree that teasing isn’t necessarily bad until it becomes excessive. I liked your response and enjoyed how much I could relate to it.
