I teach Pre-Kindergarten and have to constantly remind myself how my children are absorbing and understanding the words I use. I censor a lot of what I read to my students (sadly, we don't read "The Dumb Bunnies" even though it children love the silly things they do. I wish it was called "The Silly Bunnies"). I think it's important not to hide the words from her since she will inevitably be exposed to them and need to know how to respond. When you come across those things, talk to her and tell her how you feel about those words and how it makes others feel. Help her come up with better ways to communicate her feelings/needs. By exposing her to them young, you'll be able to teach her the way you want her to behave earlier.
Btw...I found you via blog hop and love your passion for caring for your daughter and wanting the best! Do what you believe is right!
