Actually, I'm probably just out of line. I just read that there's a lot going on right now and there's an 8 yr old boy who used to like piano enough to go to several piano camps, who right now, with one parent leaving the scene, no longer wants to take piano lessons. And then I saw a lot of answers just debating the value of parents making kid's play and instrument they don't like, and the value of who choses what extra cirriculars. I just kind of thought this child's needs got lost in over-generalized advice. I shouldn't have said nothing. My thoughts aren't concrete enough to verbalize correctly. But, I said it out loud. Too late. Ha-ha. Oops.
