[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  He has been taking music lessons at the age of six but he is getting much more serious with music lessons after this summer.  He used to practice one hour a day but now it is from 5pm until 11pm everyday and more like 8 hours on Saturday and Sunday.  He literally drops homework and sports from the calendar.  I am all for supporting him but this is too much.  I can threaten to take away his phone and music lessons but he doesn't seem to care. [/quote]

You don't threaten, you act. There will be no access to an instrument until he finishes homework. As for the rest of it I am afraid you have no choice in the matter. His life, his choice.[/quote]

This is not reasonable. And counterproductive. It will damage your relationship. Tell him he can practice as much as he wants [b]so long as he finishes his work and keeps his grades at a level[/b] you agree on or demand.[/quote]

OP has already done this to no avail. [/quote]
