Swearing: A good thing for you and your kids?

You can admit it. There are times where it feels good, even cathartic, to cut loose in a verbal fashion. But we all know it's not necessarily an appropriate or "good" thing. Especially if it happens in front of our kids, right?

...right?

Dr. Richard Stephens of Keele University in the United Kingdom has been working on some research (http://www.chfi.com/2014/05/20/sweari...) that seems to suggest otherwise. Stopping shy of calling it a positive thing, Dr. Stephens claims that that doesn't mean it has to be an entirely negative thing and says his research shows it can have its benefits.

Which begs the question from dads: Even if there are benefits for us, should we be okay with swearing in front of our children? Or are there more implications involved?

Join our panel of dads, including +Roy Baldwin, +Jackson Dunn, +Jake Roberson, and +Mike Ruman, as they discuss the impact and influence of fathers as role models for their children, especially as it relates to conflict.
