What Parents Need to Know
About Wild Hope
Parents need to know that unlike most pop singers these days, Mandy Moore delivers a clean album despite leaning heavily on relationship-related lyrics. She also manages to throw in some gently empowering messages for girls ("I won't hold anything back/and I won't hold anything in/And I might know how it ends/but I'm still willing to begin" or "I was a starling, anyone's darling, now I'm ready to be extraordinary"). The only line that might stop you for a moment is her declaration that she's "the one who likes to make love on the floor."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the ups and downs of romantic relationships and how to get through the hard parts without being self-destructive or mean to others. If you had a breakup, do you think you'd be able to be friends with the person later on? Would it help you feel better to express yourself by talking to someone or to write a song about it?
