[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you spoken to the parents about this?

Personally, I wouldn't allow her to practice if she's having a melt down.  If she's yelling and throwing fists around, she shouldn't be allowed to practice until she is calm.

Is she generally a serious kid?  May be she needs a little more general silliness.  Silly games, funny dances, etc. outside of piano to help her loosen up a bit.[/quote]

She is actually a pretty silly kid in general. She can sometimes take things a little too seriously - for example, her older sister likes to make jokes about how cavemen did things, like, "they probably rode dinosaurs instead of cars" and "back then, you could pay for a mansion with a rock." The sister also sometimes does silly accents, but nothing obnoxious or over the top. When her sister draws jokes out for too long the younger one starts getting unsettled and whining, "stop that! I don't like it when you make jokes!" I don't really understand it. But when I make jokes or do silly things with her she laughs her head off and doesn't get upset.[/quote]
