Let's give some credit to the kids. You need to start worrying when it is clear that they sing they want sex on the beach and they actually mean what they sing. We don't live in a rough area, which admittedly makes our job as parents a lot easier. But isn't there such a thing as a middle way? Sheltering them off completely won't be very good for them, and dayly hypnosis in front of the telly wont be either. They will be exposed to many unwanted aspects of their world, and it's our job to expose them to as many good ones as we possibly can. Forcefeeding them any type of music surely wouldn't be beneficial. But they will walk into your room while your music is playing and overtly or covertly be interested in what you are listening to - at least until they have made their own judgement about it. My hope for my children is that they will be able to encompass many layers of culture and see them for what they are. As for childrens clothes: shop around!
