[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Agree with the above. But when you have a child saturating themselves with one particular kind of super explicit music, you’ve discussed it with an open mind repeatedly, and kiddo is repeating the language...what do you do? A logical consequence is to place limits on the music. Yes, I’m sure his friends use this language...but surely you can’t dismiss that this huge exposure has something to do with it.[/quote]

The logical consequence is to discipline him for the language he uses around you.  You can’t keep him from listening to music he likes, though you, of course, should share your values and opinions.  But you have every right to expect that your household remain free of explicit language.  How he speaks with his own peer group (code switching) is his choice.

The term logical consequence refers to the discipline itself. Not the decision to apply discipline. In this case, if I believe my child is repeating language he or she is hearing from explicit lyrics, then loss of the privilege is the "logical" consequence of repeating the bad language that's been heard. Logical means it's related to the bad behavior that's being corrected.[/quote]
