Children Absorb How Parents Talk About Others
Original: Your child is not just listening to what you say to them. They are filing everything you say about everyone else. # Pare
A parenting essay circulating online argues that children do more than listen to what is said directly to them — they quietly record everything their parents say about other people, and later learn social attitudes from it. The piece, shared via the Mumblog site, ties into wider conversations about conscious parenting and modelling respectful speech at home. Commenters are debating how much of a child's social development comes from overheard adult talk.
Why now: Parents are reflecting on how their everyday gossip and opinions shape their children's social learning.
