Peer Pressure

As a parent what I have come to realize is that no matter how well we bring up our children they will be affected by peer pressure one way or the other. This is simply because they need to go to school to intereact with other kids. As parents we need to be firm about the boundaries we set and also explain to our children that we love them very much. We need to make them realize that we are protecting them. We live in an evil and wicked world and we need to always be on guard. I have a 6year old boy. Last year even before he was 5 he came home one day and used a foul word. I was so surprised because we do not sware at home. I therefore asked him where he learnt it from and he told me from another boy in school. He told me this boy uses whenever he is upset. My son did not see why I was upset. I therefore sat him down and explained it to him that it was a bad word and asked him if he had heard either dad or me say such a thing. He replied no and I told him that whenever he felt like saying that word he should say sugar. That really helped because now he does not even say sugar.  Whenever our kids misbehave we have to let them know why we punish them. This helps a lot. This is all I have for now. Thank you
