[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much studying does a 10 yo need to do?  Go over her spelling words?

Maybe piano isn’t a good fit.  Does she even want to play the piano of is this something you force her to do?[/quote]

She has tests every other week or so, so yes, there's a lot of studying. Claims she doesn't need to study because she knows all the material, but I don't think so. She asked to learn the piano, but she refuses to practice, and so I routinely get really [b]embarrassing [/b]emails from her teacher about her lack of progression.  [/quote]

I really feel bad for DD. You are the problem OP[/quote]

Because I don't like being accused of letting my child slack off when I spend every evening reminding, asking, begging, bribing, cajoling, and threating, only to be ignored? Sure, ok. I'm the problem.[/quote]

Nobody is saying to let her slack off. I suspect that she is actually working very hard to cope with her anxiety, its consequences in the real world, and your rigid and unhelpful parenting.

People are saying you are the problem for persisting in a parenting approach that you acknowledge is not effective. There are many other methods to try. Pick something else.[/quote]
