If you've got teens, you've undoubtedly wrestled with the, "What do I do about media?" question. When most of us were kids, our parents were vexing over The Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan or Elvis's latest version of the pelvic thrust. These days, rock 'n' roll is mainstream, and Hollywood considers a romp in the sack between unmarried, consenting adults (and teens) almost

passe'. Once upon a time, parents and educators were decrying the culture's moral decline, and today we're dealing with an all-out assault.

So, how to handle this dilemma? How do you tell your kids, "No, you can't watch that," or, "No, you won't listen to that"? The answer, of course, is that there is no easy answer. Parenting is hard. And parenting well is even harder. The good news: There are resources. Here at FirstString, we regularly host seminars and conferences for parents to help them deal with issues just like this.
