Garland,Derick, Just one of the many blessings of a good church community.

My drummer just turned 13 years old, believe it or not. Kid is a prodigy in so many ways. The whole church community forgets there's a kid as my drummer (who started when he was barely 12), but when they do remember how young he is.....you should see the smiles and wonder on their faces! His drumming is incredible.

It's amazing what kids can learn and become very fast if you don't let cell phones, TV, and computers be their babysitters but actually put time into parenting them.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

True, but they have to have the want to more than anything else... without it nothing happens and I'm not sure that can be instilled.

My mother always told me you can do anything you want to... if you want to bad enough.

Garland, They don't necessarily "have" to want to, but you're right, that is a BIG help and factor in the ones that shine at something.

Parenting is all about encouraging them in the things they want to do (if they are healthy things) and disciplining them in the things they don't want to do. Good parenting is a lot of work.

There were many things, when I was a kid, that I did not want to do. I'm so glad my parents disciplined me into doing them though.

I helped raise two pretty good kids, how many have you raised?- neither wanted to play an instrument. I have 2 grand kids who were given guitars, neither plays with them. Why? Because they don't have the want to! AND they all have been encouraged. The thing is, to encourage what they want to do, not what you or someone else believes they ought to do to make you or someone else feel good about themselves. That is not good parenting, that is controlling.
