How do you get a teenage boy to practice his music at least 30 minutes a day? Threaten him? Surprising to us the one thing that worked wasn't taking away the X-Box, or limiting Facebook time. It was simply that if he didn't practice at least 30 minutes each day we'd no longer pay for his weekly lessons. He loved his instructor and lesson time so much we never once had to remind him of our requirement to practice. Call us crazy, but his practice sessions recently sounded so good we bought him a bigger amp.
