You are doing great!
Being a parent myself, I know how it feels to constantly be concerned or worry about our children's growth and education. I remember when my children were preschool age. I really wanted them to just sit and learn their letters. Then in elementary, I wanted them to stop jumping around and focus. Now that they are both in high school, I wish they would obsess less about one thing and be more well rounded. At the same time, these cycles of development are all normal and part of growing up into a mature adult.
What if we just went with these cycles and encourage our kids through them?
When both my children were young, I "made" them take music lessons. It was just part of their schooling. My son took 6 years of violin and then I let him choose a different instrument. Since then, he has consistently taken lessons and has enjoyed experimenting with different instruments. Now, he is 16, and music is a passion and joy to him. I just let him do his thing now. I know without a doubt, that those early years of violin lessons helped form a strong musical foundation that he has used for all his other musical endeavors.
Remember parents, growth happens in cycles. You are doing better than you think. Breathe, and know that kids go through phases. Look more into the natural wiring of your kiddos and their personalities.
We love our one-on-one instruction here at Post Falls Music Academy. Our teachers strive to figure out our students, get to know how they learn, and form a musical journey specifically tailored for them. We really love seeing all the smiling kiddos each week. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Remember parents, the days can seem long, but the years are short. Enjoy each day with your kiddos!
Happy music making!
