[quote=Anonymous]This sounds exactly like my daughter, 11. Just switch the instrument! Although I agree that you may need to back off a bit on the instrument per se, I suspect that you might think there's more to it. I know I do with my daughter. Everything has been so easy for her: academics, friends, instruments, sports. That's great, and I am happy that she is well-rounded, content, and learning every day. BUT I do want her to learn the value of working hard to reach a goal. I don't want her to have her first difficult or challenging experience occur in college. So I do think there's value in gently pushing kids like this just a little bit: not in every area, but in one or maybe two. While I realize that she will probably find her passion much later in life, I'd love to see her choose a goal that's beyond what she can do with her eyes closed, and then work to achieve it. Does this ring a bell with you, OP?[/quote]
