Kid Guitars
Archive for January 5th, 2010
Like most five-year-olds, my son often has more energy than I would like. While I love my son, there are times when I wish that he would just sit down for a few minutes. One of my tricks to induce a lull in his rambunctious behavior to find means for him to release his energy.
Since he already is constantly banging on objects around our home, I decided to try to cultivate this passion of his and purchased him a set of drums for children. Now when he has too much energy, I simply tell him to go play his drum kit for a little while. Not only does he love playing the instrument, but it also provides him with a means of creative expression.
We are in a new year and a new decade. I want to wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year. I have enjoyed music my whole life and spent part of my youth playing in a band. I noticed early on in my son’s life that he also is a musical enthusiast and that we should try and help him develop. He stated that he wanted to learn to play drums and so this past Christmas I purchased a kids drumset and not surprisingly, he absolutely LOVES it! I couldn’t be more thrilled.
As far as childrens drumsets go, I think I done good! I am quite impressed with the quality and affordability of what’s out there. He seems to have some natural ability as I had suspected. As a parent I want to guide my children and help them find balance in their lives and I am committed to that process. I am excited for the future!
Honoring Your Child’s Hobbies Can Have Unexpected Benefits
Well the holidays are over and the kids are back in school. They are not happy about this but know that it is a part of life. As a family we had a pretty nice Christmas and the kids for the most part seemed to really like their gifts. They like their new clothes and my son just LOVES his new MP3 player!
We were able to get our daughter a childrens acoustic guitar that she just LOVES beyond measure. My wife and I did a pretty exhaustive search for childrens acoustic guitars and finally agreed on one we felt was perfect for our daughter just in time for Christmas! We are totally amazed at how much progress she has made in a short period of time. We had purchased some books and DVD’s on learn to play guitar and she got through most of them in less than one week! My daughter is more motivated than ever to get her homework and chores completed so she can play on her guitar and I must say that that has been an unexpected benefit!
