Listener Ethan emailed me with another question. This time he asked my opinion on how I explain to parents why I allow cursing in the playroom. This is a fantastic question, and I'll do my best to explain the CCPT response and viewpoint. I'll also give you tips for how to go about explaining this to parents. In this episode, I go over the following topics pertaining to cursing in the playroom:
  • The rules are different in the playroom
  • There is a "why"
  • There are rules of thumb to help us with this issue
