You may not allow them to listen to certain things but when you are not around, they are going to listen to what they want to.
My parents were very strict about music. We may not have listened to things we shouldn't have at home around my parents but when they weren't around, we listened to what we wanted to.
I show my 11 year old the lyrics to songs and tell him that is why I prefer that he not listen to this song. I tell him that I know he can listen to whatever he wants to when I am not around but that I hope he will make good choices. It really is a battle! Especially, when all the kids at school listen to what I call garbage. Good luck!
