My nephew will do anything pretty much to stand out in a crowd it seems. As a toddler at daycare he managed to get a lot of the attention. If another kid cried he would cry louder and longer. If another child became upset and started to scream, he would scream at the tops of his lungs to block the other kid out. Obviously this did not go over well with the other children or the workers at the daycare center. As his aunt and now his full time legal guardian, I have tried to channel all that energy in a more positive direction. This has been augmented with the help of a very competent psychotherapist who has helped me incorporate a very successful behavioral modification program. I am forever thankful!
My nephew will turn nine at the end of the summer and at his age, birthdays are quite a big deal! He has requested on more than one occasion that what he REALLY wants the very most is a childrens electric guitar! While this is not really what I had in mind to get him this year, I have begun to look into it. Childrens electric guitars come in different shapes and sizes are made for very young children and on up through kids in their teens. I certainly don’t have all the money in the world but it seems as though electric guitars for children are in my price range. Now I too am looking forward to my nephew’s birthday!
