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.

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.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      Hi Colin I share your frustration. My coeliac disease was diagnosed in 2013 and it took some years for my TTG levels to settle to normal levels in blood tests. I had to make a few significant changes at home to make sure our house was as gluten free as possible (I share a house with gluten eaters) but time and time again I found I was glutened...

      Hi Colin I share your frustration. My coeliac disease was diagnosed in 2013 and it took some years for my  TTG levels to settle to normal levels in  blood tests.  I had to make a few significant changes at home to make sure our house was as gluten free as possible (I share a house with gluten eaters) but time and time again I found I was glutened (or nearly glutened whilst eating out  - like regular bread being served with a gluten-free meal ).  Even eating in chains that Coeliac UK were recommending as safe for coeliacs.  So I gave up eating in restaurants for a while.  My blood tests normalised.  But here's the thing:  the lowest my TTG readings ever got to were 4.5 (10  and under being my local lab's normal levels) and now that I am eating out again more regularly, they've gone up to 10 again.  I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out.  Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset.  My next coeliac blood review is in September and I mean to give up eating out a few months before to see if that helps my blood results get back on track. It seems to me that there are few restaurants which really 'get it' - and a lot of restaurants that don't 'get it' at all.  I've found one restaurant in Somerset and a hotel in East Sussex where they really know what they are doing.    The restaurant in Somerset hardly uses flour in any of their dishes; the hotel in East Sussex takes in trainees from the local college, so they are teaching best standards.   But it has taken a lot of searching and trial and effort on my part to find these two places.  There are certainly others in the UK, but it seems to me the only real way to find them is trial and error, or perhaps from the personal recommendation of other strict coeliacs (Incidentally, my coeliac hairdresser tells me that if a Michelin star restaurant has to have a separate food preparation so she has never been glutened in one - I can't say I've ever eaten in one!) For the rest, I think we just have to accept that gluten may be in the air in kitchens, if not on the surfaces, and there will always be some level of risk wherever one dines, unless the restaurant cooks exclusively gluten free dishes.

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.

      This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother at all? This is a good question, and if they can't actually deliver gluten-free food, should they even be legally allowed to make any claims around it?  Personally I view a gluten-free menu as a basic guide that can help me order, but I still explain that I really have celiac disease and need my food to be gluten-free. Then I take some AN-PEP enzymes when my food arrives just in case there may be contamination. So far this has worked for me, and for others here. It is frustrating that ordering off a gluten-free menu doesn't mean it's actually safe, however, I do feel somewhat thankful that it does at least signal an awareness on their part, and an attempt to provide safe food. For legal reasons they likely need to add the disclaimer, but it may also be necessary because on a busy night, who knows what could happen?
