[quote=Anonymous][quote]It takes practice for kids to learn that they unlock potential when they work hard, that it takes time to become good at something, that you may find you like something if you don’t give up immediately. Parents who are fine with pushing kids in travel sports look down on those who push kids academically. People can really get better at anything with hard work. It’s a lesson worth learning even if your child isn’t very athletic.[/quote] I agree with this. School comes easy to my kid so I do look for ways to have her work at something. Piano is one place where I push sometimes. Is it because I want her to win awards? No. She's not even close to being on that track. I just want her to pick a hard section in her lesson that week and work on it until it improves. Don't give up when it isn't perfect the first time. Working at something that doesn't come easily is a skill.[/quote]
