I ain't tryna be 'playery on you.

Joe pretty took it the direction I would've.
An effective way to eschew all those diva artists that aren't for kids is to expose them to other cool artists.

My girls dig:

Santogold
Bobbi Humphrey
Alice Coltrane
The Jets
M.I.A.
Janet

It's fun to play Jhene Aiko then follow that up w/ some Sade.

The 7-year-old enjoyed Thriller and is in love w/ MJ.
I played "I Can't Help It" for her one day.
Her: Daddy, that's song is pretty
Me: You know who wrote that song? I genius named Stevie Wonder.
*plays You & I*
Her: That song is pretty, too!
Me: You like , right? Check out this Janet video.

At that point, I can play her anything as long as I refer to the familiar.
Now, the source becomes the familiar.
