ESTABLISH A PRACTICE ROUTINE
We all know that some children thrive on routine and need some structure to their home lives. It also help us parents to feel that we are getting things done.
Setting up a routine to stick to, being encouraging and positive and involved in their practice may be beneficial for your child. (Believe me, at this age, your child wants to spend time with you show you what they can do - it all too soon changes as they enter those teenage years!)
You can read some of the many articles I’ve read about this so that you can pick and choose what ways you think might work for your child.
If you feel that including piano practice as part of you routine at home will work for your child, then please remember to keep the joy in it and not make it a chore.
