School Appropriate Songs

Ensuring Child Safety while Keeping the Fun

The saying that goes, “Children are great imitators. So, give them something great to imitate,” is always true. This applies to our day-to-day activities; from the people we communicate and interact with, the words we speak, the dress we wear, the foods we eat, the movies we watch, and of course, the songs we listen to.

school appropriate songsMany new pop songs these days contain ‘unhealthy’ lyrics about sex, drugs, and violence. Needless to say, these songs are somehow instilling to the minds of minors that untimely lovemaking, the use of illegal drugs, and the act of hurting others are acceptable in the modern society.

According to expert psychologists, these kinds of songs have a negative impact on children’s emotional, psychological and mental development.

To avoid this effect, parents and teachers alike must encourage healthy learning. One way to achieve this is to play school appropriate songs.
