Quote

If we really want our kids to invest in long-term goals, those goals have to be their goals, not ours. A friend of mine figured this out recently when her son pleaded to stop taking piano lessons. She was finally swayed when he told her, “Mom, I think playing piano is your goal, not mine.” This can be hard to keep in mind, particularly when a student is having problems, but for a goal to work, the child has to own it.
