[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 60402, member: 2322"] Thanks all for the responses. You have given me some things to think about. I can see that negotiating adolescence is going to be tricky. difficult child 1 has always been attracted to the explosive side of things (fireworks, dynamite, etc. It seems like he always wants to push the limits, but he is also anxious, very cautious, and somewhat of a loner type. Despite his avowed interests, he is definitely not a thrill seeker like his brother. He also has no ear for music at all, lol. He is a very verbal child, wonder if that is part of why rap appeals to him. Anyway, I am more leaning towards the, if I don't make a big deal out of banning it maybe it won't have quite the power. I don't think he is attracted to the rap culture, or even all rap music. I really like the idea of looking at the lyrics first, so we have started to do it for the one CD he wants. (Appreciate the website link] Actually the few songs I have read are not so bad. And at any rate he has to mow the lawn to earn the money to buy the CD so it may take a while. Still thinking about it all... thanks. [/QUOTE]
