A typical night of basketball and piano lessons - a standard Monday. Deadlines are frequently uncomfortable and cause stress but they are effective. They motivate you to take action and move toward the goal at hand. The Christmas recital does just that for my kids. I remind my kids to practice but I do not push them. We have conversations on what must be done to improve but I don’t insist they do it. Whenever a recital looms, the practicing comes naturally and they improve. The older they get, they are making that connection and beginning to push themselves. I am looking forward to hearing them play and celebrating their hard work.
