Everything That's On My Mind

 Monday, August 07, 2006
This will echo a previous post but once again the academic world has proven what intelligent people already knew, that explicit song lyrics can encourage early sexual activity. As the father of a pre-teen girl, I've seen what other parents allow their kids to listen to and it makes me want to cry. The general response is usually "they don't understand what it's really about, so it doesn't really matter." My response to that is twofold. First, kids understand A LOT more than we give them credit. Usually, the statement "they don't understand" is made from ignorance, anyway. You don't know what your kids understand unless you talk to them about it, and too many parents don't take the time to do that. Second, once you realize they really DO understand, it's too late. Pandora's Box is open, you've already allowed them to set the pattern.

It's never too early to begin teaching our kids how to guard their hearts. Parents need to control what their kids are listening to / watching / reading. They may give you a hard time now, but in the end they'll be glad you did.
