Gautam's Swear Jar

Whether you have a toddler or a tween, it's likely that swearing isn't a habit you want your kids to pick up. Saying swear words often starts around age 2 and can grow to an offensive vocabulary of between 30 and 40 words by the school years, according to psychologists Timothy Jay and Kristin Janschewitz, writing for the Association for Psychological Science. If you're looking for a hands-on way to squash the swearing, a swear jar can help your child take responsibility for his language.
