Our daughter is stubborn and when she wants something, there’s no talking het out of it!  For her upcoming birthday she states that all she wants is a drumset, nothing else.  While this sounds great to her, to us her parents, we want to be sure that she has more than a passing interest in this before we invest money into this!   Our daughter assures us that this will be a hobby/career for life.  How many seven year olds do you know that can be this astute?  Because she is so young we will look at childrens drumsets only which cost significantly less than adult sized drumsets, THANK GOD!

I am also looking at some instructional DVD’s geared toward children so she can learn proper technique and have fun in the process!  I am all for whatever it is that makes my kids happy but they have to stick with it long enough to really see if they like it and if it is a good fit for them before moving on to something else.  Even though our daughter is only seven, I want her to learn that she needs to put forth effort in all of her hobbies, activities, and studies before giving up because giving up too soon will not bode well for her later in life.   It’s good to instill god habits when your kids are young!  I wish her many years of happy drumming!
