Your Parenting Matters

I find that music is very important in enriching a child’s life. Exposing them to a variety of genres can help them decide what best fits their style.  When they hit the teen years their taste in happy childhood tunes can often turn to more mature songs, even some with crude or degrading lyrics. Normally music is not dangerous if a child’s life is healthy and happy. You can become more involved by listening to their music and talking with them about it. Ask them why they like these particular musicians.  Discussing their music choices often is a good way to monitor what they are listening to and how it affects them.
