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!

As a parent I can’t help but compare and contrast what is available today for kids. Sometimes it really seems worlds away from the toys and gadgets of the 1970’s and the 1980’s. For my parents, it’s almost incomprehensible. Thanks to the digital age, everything has changed! I am fascinated with all the X boxes, Ipad’s, Ipod’s just like everyone else. My concern however is that too many kids like my own spend too much time isolated from their peers and too much time indoors. Even if they are online talking to their peers or texting their peers to me it doesn’t take the place of real human interaction! Ok. I’ll get off my soapbox for now!
My dear son says that what he most wants more than anything else in the whole wide world for his eighth birthday is a kids electric guitar! I must say that I really wasn’t expecting this! As a child I would have never thought to ask for that! Thanks to the internet, ( obviously not available when I was his age) I can do a quick search for childrens electric guitars and see what’s available. One can find almost ANYTHING on the internet and most certainly a childrens guitar that is well suited for each and every child! Despite my resistance/fascination, I can go with the flow! Believe it or not I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
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!
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!
The Advantages of Allowing Your Child to Learn to Play Acoustic Guitar Online

As a parent you make a careful and conscious decision to allow your child to learn to play an instrument. A guitar is a great choice for a child. Parents can look at acoustic guitars for kids and might consider children’s electric guitars. Parents are often extremely happy to find easy solutions on the internet for training their kids to play guitar. Kids enjoy online training as they can learn at their leisure and they can refer to the lessons a number of times in the course of a day. The online guitar lessons for kids begin right from the basics about the instrument and the notes that are created with it. The step-by-step training program takes a beginner through the stages to finally reach the advanced level of playing songs on the guitar. These sites offer helpful tips to parents about sourcing the right guitar for their kids. The online guitar training sites often sustain the interest of the child on the instrument because they don’t immediately jump to the theoretical and technical parts of the training. Kids are allowed to play the chords and make the notes initially, before the other aspects of learning the guitar are gone through.
The video instructions that are available at the online training sites teach the perfect techniques to hold the guitar in the left and right hand and the classic and modern postures for playing the guitar. As the kids progress, they are taught about the rhythm and strumming patterns that are used in popular songs. Learning tools provided in the online training include the jam station and library of songs to enable one to practice along with the track that is played. Learning becomes fun when the child can choose his favorite song for practice. Children also have a choice to download guitar tutorials from some of the experts. Most parents are more than pleased with the choice to allow their children to learn to play children’s acoustic guitar.
Summer is here again and for our family that means another batch of birthdays. As luck would have it, all of my three children have birthdays over the summer. My daughter has a birthday is July and both of my sons have birthdays is August. I try to save up for this time of year but it is hard when you are on a tight budget. My husband has been out of work for two years now and still can’t find a job so we have been supporting the entire family on my salary. My husband does get some unemployment but it isn’t much. Like so many Americans we try to make a dollar stretch as far as we can.
Our illustrious and musically gifted daughter says that she wants an electric guitar for her birthday in the worst way! She says that if we get her a guitar for her birthday we don’t have to get her any Christmas gifts, WOW! This kid is really serious. Of course when Christmas rolls around, we will get her something. I wasn’t so sure about spending money on an electric guitar but my husband says that because she is only ten and small for her age we could get her a kids electric guitar which would be a lot cheaper. Ok, now you’re talking. Thank God for the internet because after searching for cheap kids guitars, I see that we really do have more good quality childrens electric guitars to choose from than I originally thought. My daughter will be happy to know that not only will she”score” on her birthday but Christmas isn’t looking too bad either!
Making the decision to allow your child to learn to play electric guitar can be just as fun for you as it can be for them! Part of this fun is shopping for the guitar! There is only one real difference between children’s electric guitars and electric guitars for adults and that is the size of the instrument. Your child’s age and build will determine which size children’s electric guitar you purchase for them. Children who are age seven and younger would be best suited for a ½ size guitar. Whereas children aged eight years to about eleven years are better off playing the three quarter sized guitar. In most cases once a child has reached the age of eleven they should then be able to use a full size electric guitar without any problems. Guitar cases for children also are available to fit both the ½ size and3/4 size guitars
It is important that you take your time when selecting the right children’s electric guitar for your child. You need to make sure that you select the right size on because if it is too big your child might find it too difficult to handle and won’t be as willing to develop their electric guitar playing skills. Remember they need to be able to handle the guitar in a way that won’t be placing any strain on their body. Best of luck and have fun!!
Kids grow fast and they seem to go through many phases and changes in their lives. I know that it’s normal for kids to wear “many different hats” if you will. My kids are no exception. We try to accommodate them as best we can but it can get expensive keeping up with all of the hobbies they decide to become involved with. As a parent you must tow the line between supporting your child’s various interests and encouraging them to stick with something and not give up!
Our young son says that he “knows” he wants to grow up to be a “rocker”. At age six you think you know what you want and my husband says “let’s just have fun with this” I have to agree and I guess our wallet will determine whether we can afford to get our son a childrens electric guitar for his birthday. My husband and I will have fun looking at different childrens electric guitars to see what is available. So far we have found some kids guitars that do look affordable so I guess we will have one happy little rocker on July 2nd!
