Kylie Kelce Claims She Curses In Front Of Her Kids ‘Daily’ What Are The Experts Saying About It?

What the hell do the experts have to say?

Kylie Kelce, who is expecting her fourth daughter with husband Jason Kelce, recently revealed that the couple won’t stop swearing in front of their young children.

The WAG made the controversial statement on Monday when she announced she will be hosting a new podcast called Not Gonna Lie.

She plans to use the platform to share her brutally honest thoughts on motherhood, including swearing in front of your kids.

“I will not stop cursing in front of my children. “My kids hear the F word every day,” she confessed in the clip.

They know this is a grown-up word,” she added.

Cursing when the precious ears and malleable brains of children are around is such a sensitive subject that it’s actually illegal in some situations.

Although the US Supreme Court has struck down these bans on public profanity, the federal government protects children from exposure to profanity by censoring language in the media.

Some local governments even go so far as to make cursing in front of youth a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.

While Kelce’s admission may have shocked some, she’s not the only one. A Care.com survey showed that although 93% of moms and dads make an effort not to swear in front of their kids, eight in 10 admitted to messing up, parenting site MetroKids reported.

But you can put your parental guilt to rest: there’s little evidence that hearing or using profanity is harmful to children.

There’s no evidence that exposure to common four-letter insults causes any kind of direct harm: no increased aggression, stunted vocabulary, numbed emotions, or anything else, Benjamin K. Bergen, professor of cognitive science at the University of California in San Diego, wrote in the Los Angeles Times.

All worries about parents swearing at their children are unfounded, the author of “What the F: What Swearing Reveals About Language, Our Brains and Ourselves,” insisted after researching the issue.

His work, which is commonly referenced and agreed upon by other experts, claims that insults that are not used aggressively will not harm children. Some research has even found that cursing can be cathartic, associated with a person having a good vocabulary and can make people look at them in a positive light.

But words matter.

Why the expressions are used and to whom they are addressed are important factors to consider.

When swearing includes defamatory statements and slurs about social and racial groups, for example, it can have a negative impact,” Janice Ebenstiner, a child and family therapist, told Parents Canada.

A study published in The Journal of Early Adolescence found a correlation between children who were exposed to abusive homophobic slurs and increased stress, anxiety, depression and decreased sense of belonging.

Swearing at children is also never okay. Although more research is needed to support the widespread belief, most experts agree that intentionally cursing a child to scold, frighten or humiliate them is abusive.

Social science says that a word by itself does no harm, if you yell at your children these words and call them names, you should ask if there is emotional abuse, Caroline Clauss-Ehlers, PhD, psychologist and associate. professor at Rutgers University School of Education, told MetroKids.

But it seems that casually dropping an F-bomb while your kids are listening isn’t harmful.

The main concern of many parents is whether or not their children will repeat what they hear, but experts claim that their reactions can vary and depend on their age.

Some may be deterred from cursing if your parents do it, it’s not a good thing to do, Bergen said.

But others, especially those just learning to speak, can become foul-mouthed imitators. If that’s the case, experts advise playing it safe.

“Just give the curse word zero attention,” Kristin Gallant, of toddler parenting training resource Big Little Feelings, told Yahoo. “When you’re not paying attention, it’s not ‘fun’ for your toddler, so he won’t be paying attention either.

“Not giving any feedback means your little one’s brain won’t be prompted to think, ‘When I say this, mommy/daddy pays attention to me!’ And if they don’t think the behavior will get your attention, they’re much less likely to do it.”
