Influence of Music on our Children

Music and its lyrics can have a profound influence on our children.  I have heard songs on the radio that promote violent behavior against women, killing, rape and bad language. I am not sure that anyone should be listening to that type of music, let alone our children.   Fortunately, cds now carry a rating sysem which assist parents in determining whether the music is age appropriate for your children.  I realize that this rating system is only a guide for parents, and you need to exercise your own judgement when choosing to allow your children to listen to music.
