WORD EFFECTS

We all are aware of those taboo words that are largely off limits in many public settings such as schools, churches, corporate workplaces, and libraries to name a few. No matter what you might call them; curse words, swear words or four-letter words, these words mean something different to everyone. There are also lesser offensive words that on the surface may not seem as impactful but still could offend or tear others down. The popular saying is “It’s not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it.” Words of this nature can make many adults feel uneasy, but are we really cognizant of how our words effect our children?
