The days dad would spontaneously
stood up to switch the channel showing an obscene scene.
The days he would safeguard the television remote in his wardrobe,just so we can read.
The days were all the video disc he ever bought home were Christian music disc, children music disc and wrestling movie disc . All for what? Protecting our innocency,he doesn't want anything, not even circular music as we would call it back then, to rip us of the pure as thou childhood.

Back in my good childhood days, there were songs/ music with repulsive and zero morals but it wasn't that rampant unlike as it is today.
I am that person who is privilege to spend an average of nine hours with kids out of the twenty four hours gifted to everyone,every working days because, of the nature of work as an Educator in an High School. Should I mention the numbers of times have cautioned kids whenever they're singing songs with lustful lyrics within the school premises or the times I would punish some just to put in some sense of goods morals into them? Frankly, have lost count. Sometimes, I would stand in awe,wondering the kind of music these kids are exposed to or listened to at home.
I can't seem to remember the last time I heard children music in a children settings, it has recently been about, shaking of buttock, tongue licking,tweaking and twisting of waist, kids fondly dancing with another kid in a lustful manner, its that bad! The most painful part of all these to me is,seeing parents or guardians cheering, clapping and all over the moon, seeing the sight of such despicable act. I guess they must have thought my son is in vogue, my daughter knows how to showcase her steeze. I don't know where we got it all wrong, could it be civilization or the revolving technological advancement? I still don't know.
An average human gains eighty percent of knowledge through the sense of sight, ten percent of knowledge through the sense of hearing while the remaining is shared among the sense of smell,touch and taste.
Consequently, what kids/children see has a magnanimous effect on their development and growth. Also, you should know children learns through imitations and experience through the trial and error method hence,children does not act based on impulse or because they want to act that way. Most times there's an underlying factor or element that triggered and formed their behaviour.
What they see,what they heard,what they sense, all forms the premises of how they act or react.
Children /kids can see what you do thus, inculcating same to their lifestyles. Even the little thing like music could have an adverse effect on children's development when there's no check and balance for it.
Haven't said this,I'm still somewhat positive and assertive that, we can still catch them young or can't we?
