As a parent I didn't feel that sheltering my kids was the correct answer. I felt that explaining to them what they were reading and discussing it was most important.
Of course, that goes to a certain age, below that you do want to keep certain material away from them. But, once your kids get to junior high these days they are dealing with sex, relationship issues, prejudice, caste system, etc. Oh, and junior high kids do swear. They may not do it at home though.
Sorry, I brought this thread a bit off topic with the above.
