[QUOTE="EB67, post: 60249, member: 3750"] This is a tough one. I think kids form their identities in part by the music they define themselves with and I can see how you might want to avoid this type of identification. On the other hand, the more you try to thwart it, the more he'll covet the music, so I suggest that you let him hear it and hopefully his interest will run it's course. My Seb, by the way, came home from camp today and proudly announced that he performed an original rap at the (nature) camp talent show. I became frightened, as Seb shows signs of being enamoured with that culture already at 7. I asked what the rap was and he explained that it was a rap about invasive and native plants. Whew. Nature geek rap. On the flip side, there is a fascination with foul language. Seb logged onto my itunes and made a playlist with all the songs that had an "explicit" flag. So now that I've shown him that I am not Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm, how can I ask him to be John Boy? This was a lesson learned and one that can't be undone. [/QUOTE]
