Ok personally I teach my boy academics because he's hyper and I have to keep him entertained and it's something we like doing. But I'm not pushy. I'm not patient. I quit easily. That will change in the second grade when he doesn't want to do his homework, right? But I think about it, if I nagged him to play the piano for all the time I spend telling him, get your toys out of the livingroom floor, quit touching stuff that's not yours, quit pestering people, your sister either. With that same effort he could have a talent to show for it. And there's no toys in the floor if the only toy's a piano.
