In my defense, that was the only example you used.
Kids absorb R-rated movies...don't let your kids watch R-rated movies.
Kids absorb violent and/or sexual lyrics in songs....don't let your kids listen to those songs.
Kids absorb sexual and violent themes in video games...don't let your kids play those games.
The difficulty of parenting hasn't changed in 20 years...the laziness has. My parents were fully aware of the things I did as a kid, and we had LONG conversations about everything, regardless of whether or not they liked what I did. I don't understand what's so hard about taking an interest in your child. I do it with my son, and plan to do with my future children.
Kids absorb intelligent conversation...so have one with your kids.
Kids absorb positive themes in film, music, and games...so open your kids' minds and expose them to culture.
Kids absorb history, science, and art....so take them to museums, zoos, and cultural centers.
There is a lot of stuff out there that makes it easy to be a parent...it's just that parents choose not to use these resources.
