"JUST CURSE ONCE..."

The Uzbek people have always been very fond of children. If we see a baby, we cherish, spoil, and lift him onto our heads. After all, childhood is called royalty, and that's why they say so. If our mothers see a child crying on the street, they cannot just pass by in silence. Our fathers lift their grandchildren on their shoulders, and even when lying down, play "Dorbozi falak" (this game is played between two people: a young child and a father or grandfather. Usually, the adult lies down and aligns the child's belly over his legs, holds the child firmly by the hands, and carefully lifts him upward. As the child rises, the adult says "Dorbozi falak, kiss". After these words, the child inevitably giggles and bursts into laughter).
Yes, let there be such traditions among us. Undoubtedly, these habits have played a significant role in our nation being known worldwide as a people who love and are kind to children. But nowadays...
Usually, when children are trying to speak, we teach them the words "father", "mother", "dad", "grandfather", "grandmother", "nurse". The child's first words emerge with the most beautiful words in the world. That is, if we consider parents to be the most precious people in the world, these wonderful words are the cream of all words. However, sometimes we witness cases where young children are taught to curse.
The "clever ones" who teach swearing are none other than ourselves. You'd be surprised that family elders themselves tell their child, "Well, hero, just curse once," or "My hero knows how to swear, uncle," they say. Isn't this action poisoning the spiritual world of a toddler whose consciousness is just forming, who is learning to see the colors of the world, and thinks everything is good? "Is this our fondness for children? Is this our example for the youth? Is this our attitude towards spirituality? Is this our ethical upbringing developed over centuries? Such words are said as a joke," we justify ourselves. But none of us have the right to joke when it comes to the issue of upbringing. Because what tomorrow will be like depends on the upbringing we give today to the children we teach to swear, and on their first steps.
Among our people, when a child is born, they say, "May the child’s step be blessed," when a son marries, "May the bride’s step be blessed," and many such traditions are practiced. Why is it that the good intentions and traditions for a newborn child turn into the negative habits we've mentioned above when the child starts speaking? Shouldn't good deeds be continuous? Of course, they should be. But we must be the ones to ensure this, dear friend. We cannot approach this issue carelessly. After all, this is about the upbringing and development of our children. Let me ask you: A child whose tongue forms not with beautiful words, but with the ugliest words that show a person in the lowest light—what will such a child become in the future? Suppose such a child grows up in such an environment, and then reaches the age where he creates his own environment. What happens next?
A child who grows up thinking, "It's okay to curse elders, if I curse, those around me will be happy, they like these words," will demand the same from those around him tomorrow. The worst part – he forms an attitude that others must hear these words and be pleased about it.
Thus, society gets another unhealthy member, one who ignores the opinions of others and tramples on the feelings of those around him. So, who benefits from such a person? If there is no benefit, why are we teaching children to curse from an early age? Why are we trampling the values our ancestors developed over centuries? Why are we using children and their newly forming tongues as a tool to show off?
Why are we stealing childhood from children?
True, this issue may not apply to everyone; you may say, "In our family, it’s different." But this problem concerns all of us, me, you, and him. Because there is no such thing as someone else's child. In the world, Uzbek to Uzbek and all nations are not strangers to each other.
