Talk to your children about swearing, urges 'Sweary Scientist'

Parents should talk to their children about swearing rather than pretend it does not happen, according to a leading scientist.

Dr Emma Byrne, who is known as the Sweary Scientist after writing the book Swearing Is Good for You, said that parents who took a hard line on their children swearing would find in the long-run that their children swore more.
