Everyone swears it is part of our culture, but do we teach our children how to swear, where to swear, when to swear and why? In direct response to the promptings of her friends Anita and Steve, Kim answers these very questions through this humorist docufiction. The unpredictable lives of three engaging children: Abbey (an inspiring know it all teen); Ben (an action-hero middle syndrome child); and Chloe (the temper-tantrum-ridden baby) are shared in presenting How to Teach Your Kids to Swear. Through family events and stories used as examples, Lunansky provides well-balanced parental remedies coupled with sensitive guidelines for some of the most innocuous swear word charged situations any family might experience.
“This taboo, and underrepresented aspect of parenting, is presented through a well-crafted, and an entertaining, alternative parental submonition narrative. Raising kids is a carefully woven tapestry of masterful leadership combined with sensitivity and compassionate understanding added to a dose of good humor. Kim tackles the difficult topic of swearing with grace, style and an alternative parental voice. She might say, 'No harm, no foul, time to look the bull in the eye before serving the stew.'" ~National Writing Examiner.
