How Early Can a Child Start Taking Guitar Lessons?
Starting your child on a musical instrument is an exciting prospect. Many parents dream of being the proud parent sitting at their child's music recital, hearing the final strains of a beautiful selection coming from his fingers. However, starting a child too early on an instrument can lead to failure and frustration. Most instruments require some measure of strength and understanding that a small child does not have. If you are considering guitar for your child, here is what you need to know.
The Best Age
Children need to have strong enough wrists and fingers in order to successfully play chords on the guitar. For this reason, experts recommend waiting until a child is at least seven years old to start this instrument. Children who want to start playing before the age of seven can start on the piano. They will learn basic chords, notes, and rhythms while their bodies grow strong enough to play the guitar.
Choosing the Right Type of Guitar
One of the first decisions you will have to make when you are ready to give your child guitar lessons is the type of guitar you are going to have him play. You have two basic choices: acoustic or electric. An acoustic guitar is typically played by strumming chords as an accompaniment to a song. Electric guitars can also be played by playing chords, but they are also used to play "leads" in modern songs. Children can learn to fingerpick easier with an acoustic guitar, but power and barre chords are easier on an electric. The choice is really a personal one. You will have to think through the situations when your child is likely to play his instrument and then decide which one is a better fit.
Considering Group Lessons
Beginning guitarists often learn in a group setting. There are benefits and downsides to group lessons. Most parents choose this option because it is the most affordable. Also, children may feel more comfortable in a group setting, especially if they are not used to being one on one with a grown up outside of their families. On the other hand, students do not get to benefit from this one on one attention in a group setting. In an individual lesson, the teacher is able to pinpoint areas that the child needs to work on much easier, because she is not assessing the needs of several students at once.
You will have to decide which lesson structure is the best fit for your child's needs and your family's budget. Your son or daughter will be able to learn guitar in either setting, so do what works best for you.
Encourage Good Practice Habits
Once you have started lessons, you must work hard to encourage your child to practice. Keep the guitar in a visible location, and allow your child to practice whenever she wishes. However, insist on scheduled practice times as well. Schedule a practice time every day, and make sure your child sticks with it. Keep distractions and interruptions to the minimum when it is practice time. Make sure your child's music is readily accessible, and record the amount of practice time when it is over so you can show the guitar teacher.
When your child is practicing, be encouraging, not critical. Your child is going to make mistakes, and that is part of learning a musical instrument. It's the teacher's job to correct mistakes. Your job as a parent is to encourage and support. Soon you will be enjoying the beautiful sounds of precise chords coming from the practice room as your hard work and persistence begin to pay off!

Are all parents proud to show pictures of their children, regardless of the way the child looks?
I know we all on YA have beautiful children, but I was just curious 
When my daughter was born, she was terribly ugly. My husband and I stared down at her for several minutes until my husband said, "Do you think that she's cute?" In a horrified voice, I said, "No, she's a terribly ugly baby. The poor thing, but she did have a rough delivery. I am sure that she will look better later. Right now, she's just squished and looks like a gnome." My doubtful husband shook his head and said, "And if not, there's always puberty."
I did send out pictures, but I considered it a good test of honesty. Only two people said that the baby was cute. Everyone else found something else to say - mostly focused on the fact that she was a 10 pound baby.
Now, I can truly say that she is a pretty little girl. We routinely get sincere compliments about her as she is half Egyptian and half European so she looks like a European in all her features, except her eyes look like the eyes of an ancient Egyptian. It's very striking now, but at birth, it looked like she had no eyes and a squished up face.
