Hi all - just wanted to say thanks again - what a month - since posting this question DD has just completely and utterly exploded with passion and ability, it's a lot clearer now what needs to be done, and I'm grateful that she is starting to voice her opinions more (in some ways at least!)
Also MON - some of your advice at the time didn't really resonate but I def started asking DD to listen to what her heart is telling her she wants to do. She is really getting on board with that. In the last few weeks we have seen her blossom at piano, just woke up one day and decided it was in "her heart" started practising of her own accord and is now making up tunes and learning her fave nursery rhymes by ear between classes to give herself something to do. The art is a work in progress (pun intended) but I started another thread about that...
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know I pop back to this thread every few days to re read everyone's advice!
BTW I am a pinterest addict now, so much craft, so little time
