Remove hurtful words from your family's vocabulary

Many families have rules against swearing, but swear words aren't the only words that hurt. Take your rules a step further and don't allow family members to use insulting words, such as "dumb," "stupid" and "idiot," about themselves or anyone else. Your child will have to get creative to express frustration, and may even learn some new vocabulary!
