Beware of the latest dance craze

Children today are latching onto a popular rap song and making the associated dance tremendously popular. Although the dance doesn't appear to be particularly offensive, the lyrics attached to "Soldier ("Soulja")Boy" are devastatingly so.

If your children are getting into this, go to YouTube and type in the title to see the video, but don't stop there. Go to Google and search for the lyrics, and then, you must go one step further and check out the popular slang definitions for the major phrases in the song at urbandictionary.com.

We have a responsibility to our children and it begins at home. Be knowledgeable about what they are participating in. It often isn't as innocent as it would appear and sometimes the children themselves do not have a clue.

God bless,
Janet
