I'm very strict on what my children are allowed to say. And they know that they will be in trouble in they say a bad word. But how do you deal with it when a dirty word is in a song.
The kids are not technically saying the word out of meaness.. they are just singing a song. For instance I will not say anything if my oldest sings the chorus to this one song.. Its a country song and the one line in the song says.. If your going through Hell keep on going don't slow down, if your scared don't show it you might get out before the devil even knows your there.
One word I will not stand for them to say no matter if its in a song or not is the B word. I HATE THAT WORD!
So how do you feel about your kids singing words in a song that aren't normally appropriate to say on a daily basis?

For now, my toddler is still listening to kids and bible songs so there are no bad/dirty words on them. But if we are on the car, we usually tuned in into an FM music and we make sure it will be the classic or mellow music. She is familiar with the doo woop music and other stuff that sounds good to listen to. Just be vigilant on what your kids are tuning in or what are you listening on.

I've always believed that words are nothing more than just that. The more power given to them, the more intriguing they become.
My mother's best advice to me was cursing is only a person's way of showing what a limited vocabulary they have.
