[quote=Anonymous]Even though I agree with you, it's a fruitless battle in the digital age. Kids can and will access explicit media, both music and movies, whether you like it or not. It's too pervasive and easy to access. If you restrict it, they'll listen to or watch it on their friends' devices.

I just make sure to tell my kids that the message and content that they're listening doesn't align with the values we've instilled and expect of them, and that entertainment is not an instruction manual for life. And I force them to acknowledge the messages conveyed in what they're blasting in their ears. They whine and complain, "It's just music! It's not a big deal!" but I know my saying those things burrows it's way into the back of their minds and hopefully creates the separation I'm aiming for between what they're listening to and watching and how they should act and behave in the world.

It's tough, OP. But that's the reality of parenting in this digital age. We have very little control.[/quote]
