My child always complain that he/she does not have enough time to practice piano. What should I do to help them manage their time?

Our experiences tell us that perhaps your child has too many activities. Most parents tend to overwhelm their children with extra-curriculum activities that fill up every minute in their schedules. Prioritize their activities and drop some of those that are merely killing time.

Allocate regular practice time everyday as part of the daily routine and make practicing the instrument an obligation but not an option. Once the habit is formed, your child will be able to follow their schedules just like bedtimes and mealtimes. More importantly, they will thank you in the future for helping them persevere when they are all grown up.
