Interesting thread... we didn't really have this issue with my DD because the first time she was exposed to bad language was when we lived next door to an awful man who also used to play very loud music with explicit language and who used to abuse us over the fence too... so she quickly associated bad language with awful people. The guy was plain scary. Now as she is older (12) she still hasn't said a swear word other than 'sh*t' when she has an accident... but that's mainly because DH and I sometimes say it. She has heard many many people who she feels uncomfortable around using the "f" word so she just doesn't think it's a nice or cool word to use. I hope it stays this way!
