Kids these days spend so much time in front of one screen or another, it's hard to catch just a minute with them sans a backlit interruption or a bing from an electronic device. What ever happened to good, old-fashioned fun? What happened to playing outside? What happened to hobbies, like reading, music, or art?
With so many electronic distractions, kids might become less and less interested in the things that you or I did when we were younger. I remember sitting in my living room coloring on blank pieces of printer paper with magic markers when I was about 9 years old.
When this mother films her daughter sitting in front of a glowing blue computer screen, it's not at all what it looks like.
Maddy is a very talented 9-year-old girl who loves to cover all of her favorite songs. But, unlike lots of other children her age, she doesn't just stick to the current pop songs. Maddy likes to delve into the oldies.
As she sits in front of the computer, she reads lyrics to one on Elvis' most memorable songs. When I heard her voice for the first time, I couldn't believe the similarity between her and Elvis' tone… it's only fitting that she put her own personal spin on this classic song, don't you think?
