    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.
