Kids and "grown-up" music
I'm trying to find well-written, well-documented articles on whether "adult" lyrics negatively affect kids. For example, Papa Roach's "Last Resort." I think it's a great song, but it's way to deep and dark for children to be exposed to.
There's plenty of things in our household I just tell the boys are "grown up" things; don't make a big deal out of them, but this is one issue I want to resolve, as I don't think an 8 and 5 year old need to be thinking about things like are in Last Resort.
Any good suggestions for reading material would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Kids and "grown-up" music
Well, first of all I want to make sure I'M not having a knee-jerk reaction to them being exposed to very heavy music (lyrically speaking) and once I can read to my satisfaction, moving on to that, yes
I'm all about kids being exposed to reality, I just think some things can wait until they're older, if YKWIM
Completely. And I haven't read any recent articles (although many have been published) , nor do I think I need to, to know that being exposed to sex and violence isn't what I want for my young kids. You could google for articles about tv shows, movies, etc. and the same principle applies.
I think you'd want to be looking at scholarly journals and suggest doing a lexis nexis search or google scholar.
I think it's really important to appreciate that in child development, visual content is much more easily processed than auditory processing which remains emergent well into puberty for typically developing kids. I think makes repurposing studies on media like video gaming or movies not something that can be done accurately around books or music.
This is one of the reasons kids are classic stooges for miscontrued lyrics.

Thank you! Enjoying reading it already! TV is another minor disagreement
