The survey, conducted by the GEM automotive safety group, spoke to 1,279 kids and found that traditional stereotypes prevail when women and men get in the car, with lil ones claiming that their mamas drive more slowly, are more relaxed and are less likely Read more

Buzz In: Which Song Covers Do You Like Better Than the Original?

Cover songs typically get a bad rap, but every once and a while a remake of a catchy track comes along that's worthy of its predecessor. (Just take Sinead O'Connor's version of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," for instance). Kelly Clarkson did her own renditions of The White Stripes's "Seven Nation Army" and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" in concert earlier this week, and her samplings weren't Read more

Child Appropriate Songs by Michael Jackson

A controversial entertainer who certainly had some quirks, Michael Jackson was a superstar who will be sorely missed by millions. John Mayer may have said it best when he twittered: I think we'll mourn his loss as well as the loss of ourselves as children listening to Thriller on the record player. Dazed in the studio. A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us. RIP MJ. Michael Jackson gave Read more

Do You Allow Your Kids to Listen to Mainstream Music?

A song lyric containing a swear word slipped from my daughter's lips the other day, and I was taken aback. At four, she loves music and listens to it daily. But since lyrics blare just about everywhere — on the radio, in people's cars, at the mall, and on television commercials — it's hard to edit everything my kids hear. Do you go with the flow or try to censor sound? Do You Allow Read more

You Know You're a Mother When: Your Child Has a Song

Like I said, life's a musical once you bring home babe, but song writing isn't a pen and paper type activity. It's more like you tire of talking to your newborn without reply so you take up a tune or your tot is having a hissy so you hum to calm them. And, before you know it the makeshift lyrics have been committed to memory. To see my kids' songs, read more Read more
