Finding the ‘right’ gift for your child’s ‘big’ day!!
I am always amazed at what is available for kids today compared to when I was growing up. The only thing that concerns me is that with all of the electronics available today kids are inadvertently encouraged to spend more time indoors. As a parent this can make it more difficult to encourage your child to go outside and get some exercise!
My kid has a big birthday coming up, (hey when you’re turning five it’s quite EXCITING and a BIG DEAL!) He tells us that this year for his birthday he really wants a kids drum set. I think that this would be a wonderful gift as it can also teach him the importance of rhythm and timing. My husband and I will have a ball looking at all the childrens drums available for kids. I think that we will opt for a three piece childrens drum set as that seems like the most appropriate fit for him right now. I think my husband and I are almost as excited as our son for June 5th to arrive!
Christmas has been over for months but the memories still remain. Most gifts we buy for our children are loved when they are received but before long the excitement is over and they’re onto the next thing. Not so with our youngest son! We bought him a childrens drum set and if we let him, he would ‘bang on those drums all day’. My husband and I were ever so fortunate this year to find the deal of a century on drums for kids and we have really gotten our money’s worth! Despite the noise in our home, he seems to have developed some good rhythm. He actually began taking drum lessons in February.
Right now he is enjoying his beginner drums and we may get him a full drum set if he continues to show promise. My daughter still likes her Mp3 player but not with quite the passion her brother has for his drum set. I guess as a parent you can only hope to see your child have a passion and want to work on something!
I wasn’t sure what to do when my daughter was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). I already knew that she had a behavioral problem because to keep her still and to stay focused for more than five minutes seems like impossible. Her teachers have given me similar feedback and suggested that I have her tested for ADHD. I did so and wasn’t terribly surprised with the results.
I began taking her to a competent therapist who assured me that my child can still have a very normal life and actually possesses above average intelligence. The therapist encouraged me to find to help her find an outlet to release all of her pent up energy. When we discussed various options with my daughter which included: playing with a trampoline, learning to play the drums, or a becoming involved in softball or swimming, she chose the drums! As we investigated drums for children, we chose a childrens drum set that we all adore! Over time, I have begun to understand my daughter’s condition, and with the proper knowledge and support I know that I can raise her to become a functioning adult.
Most of my fondest childhood memories center around a common theme – they involve music in some form or fashion. In fourth grade, I got my first taste of how rewarding it is to play a musical instrument. In sixth grade, our school band teacher held tryouts during the first week of school, eventually he made the final call and we waited in anticipation as to whether we would be allowed to play it in the band.
I wanted to play the drums more than anything, and when he approved of my choice I was absolutely ‘over the moon!’ Playing the snare drum was so exciting, and I got the opportunity to switch over to the xylophone when a song called for it. The school band gave me the tools and the background I needed but was never my ultimate desire – it was merely a foundation to get better at the drums so I could one day join my own rock band. What I really wanted to do was start a garage band. In elementary school, I did convince my parents to get me a childrens drum set after putting my parents through an exhaustive search of childrens drum sets telling them that finding the ‘right’ one was absolutely crucial. My friends and I never made the big time, but playing in my best friend’s garage with a ragtag assortment of guitarists and bass players was more than worth it!
My little girl is a bit of a ‘tomboy’ which I love! She has been my ‘mini-me’ for most of her life and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Of course I want her to have her own identity but there’s nothing like a ‘Daddy’s girl’. She loves to climb trees, ride her bike, and lives to accompany myself and my buddies on fishing trips. I am glad she likes the outdoors so much. She has a birthday coming up in just three short weeks and she is very excited that she is turning seven and getting to be such a big girl now! Several weeks ago we spent time at my buddy’s house and she loved watching his older son play the drums. To say that my daughter was fascinated is the understatement of the year!
I have decided to go ALL out this year and get my precious little girl a childrens drum set. I know that she will be thrilled beyond belief! It is amazing how many really fun kids drumsets are out there. I want my daughter to be exactly who she is and I’m glad to support her in any way I can, however it doesn’t hurt that we seem to have a lot in common!
My mother has spoiled my kids for as long as I can remember and while I am delighted to see this, I am a little envious because I wish that she had treated my siblings and I half as well. She is well aware of all my children’s birthdays and because she knows that I am a single parent wants to dote on my kids even more. Christmas is always a HUGE production and this year will be no different! She knows that my very lovely young daughter wants nothing more this Christmas than to be able play the drums with her very own drum set! I don’t want my mom to spend too much money and so I told her that a childrens drum set would be just fine
Mom wants to buy a kids drum set that is of good quality and will last. I have been looking online at drums for kids. My daughter will be thrilled beyond belief! I only wish that when I was my daughter’s age and my mother showed half this much enthusiasm when I was beginning a new hobby. Anyway, she and I both tend to live vicariously through my kids and are eager to see all of their faces on Christmas morning!!
Juggling My Job As Santa With The Responsibilities Of Christmas!!!
My wife and I have literally become “professional jugglers” like most parents have. We feel forced as many of you do to have that “multi-tasking thing” down! Part of our juggling act this holiday season is to host Thanksgiving for our large family consisting of about 20 people, go on a Christmas cruise the first week in December with my wife children and her parents, host an office Christmas party for my wife, and help my wife buy gifts for her large family and mine! My wife usually does most of the planning and I basically do whatever she tells me on my never ending ‘honey do’ list. One of my tasks, she says is to choose a kids drum set to give to our son on Christmas day. I actually like this assignment and will begin looking at drums for children on line. I do believe that a childrens drum set will thrill our son BEYOND belief!
A perusal of some local music stores and a search online should give me a lot to choose from regarding kids drum sets. I’m sure that on Christmas morning our family will (like it or not) get to hear our son’s enthusiastic first beat of the drum! I know I can’t wait!!
Our very adorable nine year old daughter is SO excited about her tenth birthday that is coming up on the twentieth of November. She really wants to play the drums in the worst way and my husband and I believe that it would be a great idea to get her a kids drum set. My sister got her son a childrens drum set two years ago and it went over so well that I have no problem getting one for my daughter. I will start bookmarking sites that include childrens drum sets that pique the interest of both my wife and myself. We need to act soon as her birthday will be here before we know it!!
I am excited to watch my kids grow and nothing makes me happier than to see them so happy! I am probably just as excited as my daughter is for his birthday to come! They’re only young once and I don’t want to miss a minute! It is very fun to live vicariously through my kids and I am enjoying this period in my life.
My son’s birthday was last month and oh what a fun time it was for him. Usually birthdays come and go and the excitement of gifts received starts to wane over time. Before you know it the novelty of new gifts wears off and the child is on to something else. This is not the case with our young son! We bought him a childrens drum set and if we let him, he would ‘bang on the drums’ all day long!! It was one of the best investments we ever made!! There are so many totally cool drums for children available for today. Despite the obvious noise, he seems to be developing some rhythm. We are actually setting him up with some drum lessons next week. He is quite happy about this.
Right now he is enjoying his beginner drums and we may get him a full drum set if he continues to enjoy the drums and show some real promise. His joy is our joy!! I guess as a parent I am so glad to see him have some passion and want to work on something which makes me want to go the extra mile for him!! Only time will tell.
So what will our daughter get for her birthday this year? I know my daughter can’t wait to turn eight! She has told me that the only thing she wants for her birthday this year more than anything else in “the whole wide world” is a kids drum set! I thought, “Oh boy!” Where am I going to start looking for childrens drum sets? Of course as any parent knows the internet is a wonderful resource for just about anything.
My wife doesn’t think getting drums for our daughter is such a big deal. Maybe she is right, since we will only be getting a childrens drum set we can probably find a good one that is pretty affordable. Our friends are musicians and I know they can probably get us a good deal. I bet there are some pretty cute drums for children that our daughter will really like. Come November 3rd, I think we will have one happy child in our home!!
