Just told ds11 he isn't allowed to practice piano for more than 20 minutes. Had to set the timer for when he needs to stop. My mom never had that problem with me...
I can't bear to do this. My daughter did her mandatory practicing at 10 p.m. one night. I can stop a doodler, a tester, a joker, but I cannot stop an artist. Which is why my family will never be rich!
