I ask that both kids practice every day for 5 minutes a day. Little bits often is supposed to be much better than a bunch once a week. It gets them in the habit of daily practice, but it's so little time that it's painless. And 5 minutes often turns into more.

Letting him perform for you (or other friends and/or relatives) or teach you something are both helpful. Most people who like you will sit through a song or two in the interest of encouraging a child to play. smile

FWIW...
