I have five children who all have very different interests. My two older sons play soccer, my middle daughter is a very good pianist and my youngest son loves riding his bike and wreaking havoc on our home any chance he gets. My youngest daughter and the “baby of the family” says that she wants to learn guitar just like her father. Her father, my husband has played acoustic and electric guitar with friends throughout the years at churches, wedding receptions, and local watering holes in our area. My daughter is quite aware that she has a birthday in April and has decided that she wants an acoustic guitar! I am game as long as she realizes that she needs to have balance in her life and be involved in other activities
My husband has many contacts and does know an awful lot about guitars. He thinks that a childrens acoustic guitar would be perfect for our daughter and says that he know where to find discount childrens guitars that are quality products. My husband is quite excited to give our daughter some proper instruction but realizes that she may need further lessons with someone who teaches on a more regular basis.
What do you do with a very limited budget and a kid who swears that the thing he wants most for Christmas is an acoustic guitar! At first I said, “no way, No Way, NO WAY!” But then I really began to explore and much to my utter surprise there are some very affordable acoustic guitars for kids online! I just want to say to parents that there are some great websites for discount childrens guitars out there!
Santa will be good this year and now I just hope that I can find some discount “puppies for my daughter Ellie! Maybe one of my kids will get me a “discount” new house!
I am a single mother working hard to raise my two sons, (ages 11 and 14). My younger son, Christopher has Attention Deficit Disorder. Finding the time as well as the patience to work with him and parent him can be VERY trying, especially when we all lead such busy lives. It has been an ongoing challenge for years to find interests and hobbies that will not only occupy his time but also hold his attention.
After many attempts at hobbies such as: baseball, karate, and soccer, I FINALLY found the activity that not only holds my son’s attention but also provides skill and discipline while nurturing his own sense of creativity. I discovered his love of electric guitars. And not just any guitar but an electric guitar for kids! He LOVES it and now feels he has more in common with his rock star idols like the Jonas Brothers! I really believe in the importance of helping children harness their passion and feel that music is a wonderful outlet for our youngsters. As a single parent on a budget, I was able to find discount childrens guitars that are high quality and provide a good vehicle for learning to play music.
