It always seems like the cost of living gets worse and worse. Each year we really struggle to make ends meet. We try to save but somehow something comes up and we somehow manage to cut into our emergency fund. With four kids it’s a struggle to make it in today’s times. It seems that every time we turn around there’s another birthday and before we know it it’s time for Christmas! Now that it’s almost September, we face the birthday of our youngest son.
We always have a difficult time with his birthday because it’s getting closer to Christmas and we need to start saving money for Christmas gifts. What our son wants more than anything else in the world this year is a kids electric guitar! We want to get this for him so very badly and are not sure if we will get him this for his birthday or Christmas. Yesterday I did an internet search and I typed in cheap kids guitars. I found some good deals and from what I can gather the guitars look to be of good quality. I’m surprised because I really thought that we were going to have to spend more money! As parents you do the best you can, say a prayer, cross your fingers and hope for the best! I think our son will get his childrens electric guitar for his birthday!
My son is a little ham and being the center of attention seems to be something he relishes. He has been telling my wife and I that he has dreams of being a rock star and has been going around the house playing “air” guitar. While we are not sure we really want this dream to come to fruition we can’t resist the temptation to indulge him just a little bit. I have decided that a kids electric guitar is in order
I think it is so cool that there are so many varieties and styles of electric guitars for children. I have been having a blast looking at what is available online. I found a kids guitar that I have to get and I think my wife is in agreement. Our son has a birthday on September 15th and we will present him with his childrens electric guitar at that time. I can hardly wait!
After a lot of begging from our youngest son, we got our youngest son a childrens electric guitar for his birthday this past February. We just weren’t sure we wanted to get him this because of cost and we also wanted our son to focus on other interests. At the time we had our son involved in boy scouts, basketball at the YMCA, and church choir. He begged us for an electric guitar and really wanted guitar lessons. We were afraid if we got him a kids guitar it would detract him from his other interests and even more importantly his schoolwork. Much to our delight and even utter shock this hasn’t happened at all!
Not only has our son continued to pursue his other hobbies , (except for choir) but he seems to show more responsibility in most aspects of his life including his studies! With guitar, he really appears to have more of a passion and because of this he has really picked up the basics of learning to play guitar and read music rather quickly. He also knows that he will not be able to continue to play the kids electric guitar if he doesn’t complete his homework or continue to get good grades. He knows that we also expect him to be involved in other activities to live a well rounded life. Our son is willing to do whatever it takes so he can continue playing guitar. The guitar in a roundabout way has taught him discipline. Unknowingly, it was one of the best decisions we ever made!
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!
What do you get a kid for his ninth birthday who has everything? I love my kids and I have tried to teach them throughout their lives that the best things in life are free! I have tried to teach them the value of good times spent together as well as the importance of showing loving kindness toward ourselves and each other. I believe that my kids see this but it’s hard when they live in such a world of materialism. My husband and I have been divorced for five years and my ex husband earns a very nice salary. He is able to purchase very nice gifts for our kids. They appreciate this but I just hope that they don’t take it for granted.
My son has said that he really wants an electric guitar for his birthday. I happen to know after speaking with his father that he has a lot of gifts planned for our son but not a kids electric guitar. I have decided to look into the possibility of purchasing a childrens electric guitar as long as it’s in my price range. I have heard form a very good and reliable friend that childrens electric guitars are very affordable and that there are a wide variety in which to choose. This is good news! As parents we do the very best to teach our children good values. We give them roots and we give them wings and after that we just hope they fly in the direction that brings them true happiness!
My daughter is destined for superstardom. She knows it and I know it! I know it because she seems SO intent on it! It’s REALLY hard not to get caught up in her enthusiasm! She seems to really love life and we are so very glad about that!! Now that she is facing the ripe old age of ten she has made an important decision in her life, she has informed us that at this point she really needs a childrens electric guitar to enhance her career! Ok, as a parent I certainly don’t want to hold her back!
My daughter is such a “spitfire” that I think a kids guitar would be the perfect way for her to release her energy! She and I have begun looking at childrens electric guitars and I think she likes just about everyone we’ve looked at! We will have to work on narrowing this list down! I’m sure as she gets older and reality sets in her dream may change a bit but I want her to have fun with it now so as far as I’m concerned, for the moment, she’s on her way to becoming a “Rock Goddess!”
Last month we bought our seven year old son a childrens electric guitar. We were on the fence about getting him this gift for his birthday due to cost and we weren’t sure if we wanted to send him the message that we wanted him to grow up to be a rock star! However we realized that we were taking this WAY too seriously and it was more important to let him have fun! Actually childens electric guitars are not as expensive as we had originally thought.
Our son has been playing his little heart out. He has even begun taking some lessons online and seems to have done a good job learning some chord and strumming techniques. We are even thinking about getting him a private instructor. Our son is our first born and we are learning as we go. I’m sure we will lighten up even more as we go along. Parenting is a journey for both parent and child!
Little girls are so funny these days. In this day and age it’s no longer playing house with friends or playing with dolls for hours on end. I think it’s great. Women’s lib. in the 70’s started the change toward more equal play. Now it’s gone from playing kickball and dodge ball with their male counterparts to jamming on their cool kids guitars like little rock stars! My kids is no exception with this current trend. She wants me to get her a childrens electric guitar for her upcoming birthday in August.
As I peruse through various websites online that feature childrens guitars I am pretty impressed with what I see making me wish I was her age again! Hey, maybe I’ll get one for myself! I have no problem with the “Rock God” stage as long as she leads a well balanced life! They’re only young once and as I too re-experience my youth, I may just “rock out” with her too!
My daughter is just SO cute. I know all parents must say that about their kids but I really do love watching her grow as I re-experience that unspoiled child-like innocence! As a family we are getting together along with her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins to celebrate her sixth birthday. All our daughter can talk about is how much she wants a guitar. She is pretty insistent and somewhat persistent when she wants something. My husband did a pretty thorough search for childrens electric guitars and found some absolutely adorable guitars for our aspiring little musician!
On Sunday we will present her with a childrens electric guitar that I know she will just love! I believe that one of her cousins already has a kids guitar that he really enjoys so he may be able to give her a few pointers. I look forward to some lovely impromptu concerts form our little rocker! I want to enjoy that period of innocence for as long as I can!
My husband and I have had a lot of joy watching our son grow up. We both feel that music will be his thing. He LOVES to sing and pretend to play “air” guitar. For my husband and I there was little question of what to get him for his eighth birthday. We decided that a “perfect” gift would be a kids electric guitar! I think my husband and I had just as much fun looking at various kids electric guitars as our son will have playing one in the very near future!
We had difficulty conceiving our son and were SO delighted when we finally got pregnant! Now we don’t want to miss any stage of our son’s life! Don’t get me wrong, parenting isn’t always easy, but we love creating all these wonderful memories! I think it will be loads of fun watching our son “jam” on his childrens electric guitar and singing his little heart out!
