Dax Shepard lets his kids curse 'when it's called for'
The 50-year-old actor - who has daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, ten, with actress Kristen Bell - has revealed that he has no issues with swearing in front of his children, and he doesn't mind them cursing "when it's called for" either.
Dax said on the Armchair Expert podcast: "I fully swear in front of my kids. They are allowed to swear, not with impunity, but when it's called for, and they land it, and it's in the house and not out at a restaurant, it's OK.
"My defence of it is, I just told the girls, like, 'Hey, these are noises that come out of your mouth, and you assign what they mean to you.'"
Dax also acknowledged that his kids are exposed to curse words at school.
He added: "You just don't want them to say it in front of a teacher."
Meanwhile, Kristen previously revealed that she tries to set a positive example for her kids.
The Hollywood star explained that she and her husband try to deal with their problems in the healthiest way possible, so that their children can learn from their example.
Kristen - who has been married to Dax since 2013 - told People: "We always make up in front of them if anyone gets snarky or frustrated or fights, which we all do.
"We do not have the makeup, our conflict resolution, be behind closed doors. Even if at dinner, let's say, one of us is frustrated and is a little snarky and then we go to bed. We'll apologise to each other the next morning.
"Then we will apologise and make amends to each other in front of the kids so that they can see how conflict resolution actually happens."
Despite this, Kristen and Dax initially tried to adopt a hands-off approach to parenting.
The actress told TODAY: "When we had our first child, we said we wanted to be 'second child parents,' and we made an agreement that if she wanted to do something, as long as it didn't require a trip to the hospital, she'd be allowed to do it."

Lindsay Lohan helps Jamie Lee Curtis reconsider mother comments
Jamie Lee Curtis says Lindsay Lohan has helped her reconsider whether her mother would be proud of her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. While Jamie, 66, won an Oscar for the film, she previously admitted her late mom Janet Leight, who died in 2004 at the age of 77, wouldn't have approved because of how dowdy she looks in the film but Freakier Friday co-star Lohan has given her a different perspective. She told PEOPLE: '"It's funny because Lindsay - you can say things and you think them and then you read them. And Lindsay said to me one day, 'Well, how do you know what she would've thought?' And I'm like, 'Well, I know my mom. I think I know,' but she's right. My mom's dead. And I don't know, maybe she would've loved Everything Everywhere. I don't think so. "The reason why I didn't think she would love it is because in her generation, as I was trying to say, what you looked like was your currency. [Leigh] was a great beauty. I've never been a great beauty. I've been cute. I was cute. Not beautiful. My mother was legendarily beautiful. And so because of that, I thought she would have a problem with the way I looked." In the film, Curtis plays an IRS agent who audits Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan's laundromat business. Her character wears glasses and unfashionable clothes, with Curtis also donning an unflattering wig. And, while Jamie doesn't believe her mother would have liked her appearance in the film, she things she would definitely approve of Freakier Friday. She said: "Maybe she would've loved it. Maybe she would've appreciated the art of it. She would have loved this [Freakier Friday]. This would be, she loved this. She loved True Lies. She loved it. '[Leigh] always believed that I was a comedian because I was an obnoxious teen. And you know, I was funny and a smart aleck, and I think she always wanted me to be very true to that. That's hard to do when you don't have any confidence in what you're doing. And this has all grown out of many years and a little bit of analysis."
