Parents actions and behavors reflected by there kids

March 31, 2008 3:31pm CST
I work at a job where kids and families come to everyday and I have to interact with the kids. I can't tell you how many kids never say "Please" or "thannk you" not to mention the endless curesing and sweering. Some kids even have worst language than the average high school or college student. The thing is it's all the parents. alot of them will laugh or ignore it and some will even encourage it. Alot of people just don't care any more.

I've heard four and five year old kids swearing like sailors, using the "f" word countless times. Their parents must use that language themselves and/or think that it's natural or cute for the kids to use it as well. Obviously, those parents are too lazy and/or unwilling to provide proper home training, which involves basic etiquette and use of proper language in public. What bothers me about this lack is that it often leads to undesirable behaviors and even crime! A lot of those kids feel that they are privileged characters, but they all they do is show the public that they are nothing more than worthless dirt bags.

Sadly, alot of children are like that these days. There are still some well-behaved, polite little ones but I used to see this all the time. I worked for a military child care center once and there was a little boy who's first word was a cuss word.
