    I think you’re underestimating children and how they learn. I’ve seen this in practice and it works fine. It’s taught at an age appropriate level and in a way that they get.

    I’m more than happy with the why questions, it’s why I won’t be a hypocrite, I need to be honest and true. If I can’t explain why I’ll explain why I can’t explain and we have a discussion. You might be surprised at how great they are with that.

      you said the same thing as me “age appropriate level” = “once the child can udnerstand contexts”. so i don’t get how i’m underestimating children here

      my point was how not all answers will be good, or even if they are good, won’t be accepted by a kid, i’d rather wait until i’m sure they understand

        Age appropriate is all levels, there’s no waiting. The swearing is there as normal, the explanation is age appropriate.

        The child doesn’t have to accept the explanation , there just need to keep learning the boundaries, which is a large part of what growing up is.
