What are your kids listening to?

For parents, understanding your teenager is a lot like trying to solve Gordian’s Knot or finding Atlantis. Their music especially is strange and is seemingly filled with weird rythmns and indeciferable lyrics. It was the same when I was a teen and it will be the same when my two girls are teenagers. For me, keeping an open conversation about what your kids listen to is important. Be willing to discuss with them what they listen to and what appeals to them.

I used to be a huge advocate for getting kids off of secular music and into the CCM realm. I have realized that it may be better to approach all music genres using this single criteria, does the music I listen to build me up in Christ or distract me from Him.

For those looking for Christian alternatives to today’s secular artists, the site www.interlinc-online.com is a great resource. Comparison Chart 1 Comparison Chart 2
