Parenting Tip # 210
Children must come to an understanding that their words impact others?for good and for evil. Train your child to ask himself whether his words honor or dishonor God. He needs to know that he is accountable for every word that slips from his lips, including cursing, slang words that are not wholesome, gossiping or criticizing people behind their backs, and cutting others down.Parenting Today's Adolescent: Helping Your Child Avoid the Traps of the Preteen and Teen Years Copyright 1998 by Dennis and Barbara Rainey.
