A TikTok mom has earned praises and respect for her views about kids and cursing. As someone who admits she's a potty mouth herself, the mother claims she has no issues with her daughter uttering some swear words.

In her video on TikTok, mother @psyko_therapy explained that saying cuss words are a part of life. Children will eventually learn some curse or swear words no matter how much their parents try to shield them.

Nonetheless, the mother said she has established some simple rules about swearing in the house. For one thing, her daughter can do it as a way to express herself as the mom believes in letting children be free to get their emotions out of their system.

If her daughter hurts herself doing stuff around the house, she is allowed to cuss but it's a big no for her daughter to swear at people, swear in school, or swear when they have guests at home.

Banning Slurs in the House

In a separate video, the TikTok mom shared some of the comments she received about her thoughts on kids and cursing. Many parents agreed and respected her opinion that cusses are just words of expression. Thus, swearing should not be a big deal for as long as the children aren't hurting someone.

Another TikTok mom, Emily, shared that she also allows her kids to cuss or even drop the F-bombs at home. The mom said she does not get angry right away and play it by year because the use of swear words should also apply to a context.

Emily said that if her daughter cusses because she stubbed her toe, then that's fine. However, if her daughter swears at her or someone else because she's frustrated and angry, then the mom won't put up with it as well.

The one thing that Emily will never tolerate, however, is if her children utter the phrase "I told you so," or say racial slurs. Emily said she will absolutely go mad about slurs because these words have "the intent to hurt someone."

What Experts Say About Kids and Cursing

Sean Grover, a licensed clinical social worker, does not support parents allowing their kids to swear. He said that swearing may undermine how a child could learn better ways to express their frustration. Thus, parents must strive to teach the kids how to relate properly with consideration to the feelings of other people. He also said that some parents might find themselves embarrassed if their children curse in public.

Michael Adams, who wrote the book "In Praise of Profanity," believes that kids and cursing is a double-edged sword. It's probably best for parents to allow just normal cuss words that are largely acceptable and no longer offensive in social circles.

Parenting coach Sarah Rosensweet, on the other hand, said it's a personal choice for the parents. However, if their children accidentally swear in the wrong context or situation, parents must never let the opportunity pass to explain why swearing can be hurtful and inappropriate.
