Kid Guitars

My daughter is a great kid and we have loved being her parents despite all the difficulties “parenthood” can bring.  You see our daughter has had a lot of challenges and difficulties that have at times have lead her down a rocky road.  She has dealt with learning disabilities in both math and reading requiring special accommodations at school and a lot of tutoring.  At the age of eight she was diagnosed with ADHD and we have spent A LOT of time with therapists and behavior specialists to try and give her structure and teach her behavior modification.  It has been very trying but as parents we delight in her growth and progress and because of all of the struggles, her progress means that much more to us!

When our daughter was eight years old we bought her a kids electric guitar at the recommendation of one of her trusted therapists who encouraged us to have her learn to play an instrument.  It was a wonderful suggestion as it not only taught her a skill but also helped to teach her the values of patience and the feeling of satisfaction of having learned to play a new song!  Now as she enters the pre-teens, she is asking us for an amateur guitar, since she has outgrown the 31 inch guitar we bought her five years ago.  I think it is a very valid request and we will look for a very good quality beginner guitar.  We are in it for the LONG haul and no matter what we will do whatever it takes to enhance the quality of her life and therefore the quality of our family’s life.  God bless!
