Hi John,
I respect your motives but I'm not sure it's altogether wise to be overprotective of children. When our four daughters were growing up my wife and I were very careful to watch our language in their presence. My eldest was accepted at Princeton and we were appalled at the foul language she picked up in just one semester, not to mention the heavy drinking that was part of college life back then (this was the early '80's when the drinking age was 18 in NJ). Her younger sisters, including the 5 year old, were soon swearing away with the best of them. I'm happy to report that all turned out OK.
