Sitting at home with my 3 year old Daughter last night, she completely unprompted, said to me "Daddy, I want a guitar".
Well, my Princess, you can have a guitar!!
My Wife has horses and she was hoping that the litle'un would follow her in that interest (she probably still will), and trying to brush the comment off said to her, "Isobel, do you want a pony", to which Isobel replied, "No Mummy, I want a guitar like Daddy".
Ive definitely mastered this whole 'Dad' thing. Piece of piss

Way to go!
I suspect your wife is the one keeping discipline in the house, that's why you're the favourite
Hope you have fun teaching your little girl her first chords.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Three is way too young to expect anything serious in terms of playing or commitment IMO from any child that age I've met, and a proper size guitar will dwarf the poor girl. I'm in a similar position with my 5 1/2 year old son, but even at that age a full size guitar- even a solidbody electric- is too big to play comfortably.
Thinking Ibanez MiKro is the way to go for the boy, but still might be too big for a 3 y/o.
Ukulele? The tuning is basically the same as a guitar, so all the chord shapes you learn are transferrable when you swap to a proper guitar...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
My 5year old drags ME into guitar shops now! My local has one of these:

Shes asked me to buy it on several occasions (& I've come SO close... My own hankering for a HH strat has nothing to do with it )
ive promised her an electric guitar when she can play a couple of tunes on her ukelele. Time will tell on that one, she's currently even more obsessed with my other passion- martial arts, she's Judo mad.
How did your dad get you started @Bucket ?
He got me into guitar-driven rock music, from which I gradually discovered heavier music which really inspired me. The biggest lightbulb moment I remember was when he showed me Gary Moore.
I've always been a gearhead and I remember just being inspired by reading through guitar books that he had on the bookshelf, full of pictures of 50s and 60s Fenders and Gibsons. I used to draw them when I was about eleven or twelve. I suspect getting Guitar Hero III as a Christmas present helped as well.
One day, when I was 12 years old (IIRC) I asked him if I could borrow a guitar to play, and he lent me his blue Tele and taught me some basic stuff to get me started - a couple of riffs, and some basic chords. I mostly taught myself from then on.
So to answer your question - he got me started with the basics and left me to figure the rest out myself, for which I am actually quite grateful. Subliminally, I suppose the inspiration from him has been there since I was very young indeed.
If they don't play the HK'a are going up on value and are good little guitars to have anyway.
