[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework is checked and graded at school so my kids do it because it represents a substantial part of their semester grade. It's never a struggle in that sense. [b](Instrument practice was a struggle so we dropped that. I pick my battles and feel they were exposed to it enough to pick it up again later if they choose. I allow only activities they are intrinsically motivated to practice.[/b])[/quote] Same here. No more piano lessons for DC since getting her to practice was such an ordeal. We figured, what's the big deal? Such a weight off our shoulders to be done with it.[/quote] Wow- that's sad. I mean I understand picking your battles and maybe your children hated the instrument but really for a young child, instrument work is really a parent/child thing. My son used to say he hated to play piano all of the time but now that he's made good progress and can play upper level basic songs- he's happy.[/quote]
