[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60090, member: 1991"] Janna, I think that is a good approach. If we, as parents, listen to what our kids want to listen to, it means we have a much better idea of what's going on in their heads. Buying music online can also be a good way to monitor what they listen to. I've had to play a certain amount of catch-up, because my older kids are now adults and go get their own music. When they play it on ear phones, I have no idea what they have, so I have to ask to listen too. If they are playing it on speakers and I don't like what I hear, I ask them to not play it aloud. I don't want difficult child 3 to hear it, nor do I want the neighbours offended. Generally, though, we haven't got problems, because my lot aren't into rap or hip-hop. They're more into what I call "bubble-gum music" common to animé. Our Saturday morning video clip TV shows will censor anything not fit for children and it's those shows where I saw the more recent Eminem stuff. Language gets bleeped - I think some of the clips arrive in Australia pre-bleeped, because we have different standards - and some clips get deleted completely (just a short text to indicate a missing place in the countdown). husband & I keep a close eye on the weekend countdown shows, to stay in touch. Meanwhile, the kids are sleeping in! Marg [/QUOTE]
