Thanks Chloe
Both DH & I found this article really great - we both feel like we're 'bad' parents sometimes because we're not constantly 'keeping up with the Jones' ' enrolling Luke into everything possible.... Its nice to know that other people think about parenting like we do...
Unfortunatley I see a lot of 'pushy' parents being a piano teacher - the ratio of kids learning because they love it and kids learning because their parents want them to is alarming
And although they're learning, parents are constantly pushing for more - is she ready to do exams, etc etc... when the kids just want to learn how to play....
I have people asking me constantly if Luke plays the piano - my answer is "he would if he were interested, but he's not so he doesn't...' VERY hard to explain to people that playing the piano is MY passion, and not his.....
I popped into Dymocks today to see if this book was available - it gets released in Australia May 5th, so I ordered a copy for when it comes in - I'd really like to read more!!!
Thanks again!![]()
