And I'd add, be careful of absolutes and secrets. I've driven my kids to school their whole lives and NPR played the whole time. I've turned it off a few times when really bad news was on but we still talked about stressful topics like guns in schools and stuff like that. If you keep that stuff secret they'll find out anyway and you won't have a chance to help them cope so lead those conversations!
Also the power of words, especially "BAD" words. I never filtered my language with my kids but I told them what the words meant in terms of the dictionary as well as as a curse. Cursing is a skill and doing it well has power so it should be used judiciously, properly and with a targeted outcome. My kids can shred your flesh with words but not one of the three has ever, in all these years gotten a referral from the school that involved cursing and or language use. Judicious folks, judicious!
