I was talking to one of my piano moms the other day. All of her kids are taking music lessons, most of which play two instruments. She told me what she’s been doing lately to get her kids to practice. Here’s what she’s doing. She gave me permission to share her story.
Sibling Rivalry
Usually sibling rivalry isn’t a good thing, but sometimes it’s good to take advantage of it. What she’s doing is having her kids write down their practice minutes. At the end of the week, the one who has the most minutes gets a shake.
How Is It Working?
She says it’s working fantastically.
On the first day, the younger kid would practice half an hour, then the older kid would practice 45 minutes. Then the younger one would practice 20 minutes, to catch up with a 5 minute buffer. The second day turned out similarly.
I have yet to find out who won last week, but they were definitely determined to win that shake!
What if My Kids Aren’t Competitive?
Personally, my kids are not competitive. At all. Ever.
The older one would let the younger one win because she felt bad. The younger would let the older one win because she wanted to give her sister the gift of a shake. All practicing would halt.
In order to motivate my kids with a reward, I have to set a bar and anyone who passes the bar by the allotted time gets the prize.
For example, I would have to say that whoever gets 300 minutes of practice by Saturday 9AM gets to go for a shake. That’s 30 minutes at 5 days a week x 2 instruments. Knowing them, the challenge would be done by Thursday.
So, I don’t know about you, but I’m going to tape a piece of paper to the wall and find a coupon for shakes.
