Music Suggestions For An 11-year-old

My daughter is 11, and will be starting middle school next year. By the time I was her age, I was listening to the Ramones and the Dead Kennedys. I still love that music even though I am too old to. :rolleyes: But alas, my undying love for Punk Rock has not passed down to my daughter. If I have to hear that friggin Kelly Clarkson album one more time, I am going to come out of my tree!

Do any of you with similarly aged children have any good music suggestions for her? Something poppy and top-40, but without the sex, drugs and rock and roll. Well, rock and roll is OK, but I'd like to go easy on the sex and drugs!

My daughters love Janelle.

Janelle is big in Canada ... Christian music, but appealing to your daughter's age. Open Original Shared Link

My daughters also love Kelly Clarkson, so I think this will be a hit.

Also, they like Shania Twain ... but the daughter who does likes country music.

Michelle Branch, Vanessa Hudgens, and Stevie Brock are also hits with my girls.

Hilary Duff and Hannah Montana are also favorites.

My dd LOVES Hannah Montana. She also love Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Ally and AJ, etc. Disney stars are a favorite in our house.

Dont u just love the tween yrs :rolleyes:

Movie scores! The soundtracks to Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribbean, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.

And don't tell her that it is actually classified as classical music!

If she doesn't play an instrument, this would be a really good time to have her start, and then she can play whatever music she likes instead of just listening to it. It also will have a huge impact (a good one) on her academic abilities, especially if you can get private lessons for her.

My son loves They Might Be Giants. They're not exactly contemporary, 'cause they were big when I was a teen...but they are still really cool. They have an album just for kids that is fun, or you could pick some favorites off itunes.

My sister is 11, and I teach dance at the YMCA so i have to use clean music as well. she listens to a lot of christian bands and I use them for my dance classes. Even if you aren't religious, the majority of the bands songs give clean lyrics and good morals without neccisarily being "religious"

here are some suggestions:

Relient K, Hawk Nelson, Switchfoot, Toby Mac(his songs tend to be more on the religious side), Grits, superchick..There is a ton of "christian" music out there that even my friends that aren't religious like. I know there is also the "kelly clarkson" type sound as well out there, i just am not very familiar with it. My sisters two favorite bands are Hawk Nelson and Relient K, both of those are a harder rock sound though.

As far as Hannah Montana goes, I can only handle her and High School Musical for so long, but my kids in my dance class love both of those C.D.s a lot.

I have a ton of music so if you want any more suggestestions, just let me know. Hope that helped some.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
