12 Bad Habits Kids Learn From School and How to Stop Them

Kids definitely have their own lingo and favorite words amongst groups of friends but when a bad word or rude expression makes the list, it's important to make it clear what's funny and what isn't. While a lot of the appeal to these words comes from the reaction from peers, kids also draw on the attention they receive from you. Curb their potty talk by explaining the meaning or inappropriateness of the word without overreacting and make sure that you're modeling an equally clean vocabulary.
