Hi Ren - I'm glad the teacher is willing to work with you. I agree that having a kid try to do something they cannot physically cannot be a good thing for any kid, especially one with perfectionistic tendencies. It's also good that he's excited to work with your DD though.

I think listening to your gut was right. Maybe you can it clear to the teacher what your limits are on practice so you're on the same page (e.g., 15-20 minutes).

I am watching this with interest because we were going to start DS with piano when he turns 5 in a couple months. I asked him to stretch his hand on the keys today, and he wouldn't be able to do full chords. Good to keep in mind when talking with our piano teacher.

Good luck!
