| Mum, I can't find my music book... |
One way to ensure your kids don't practise is to make it impossible for them to find their instrument! You could follow the method above, but it can also be done by being too tidy. Eusebius will never fall into the latter category; just ask Mrs E.
But it has been done. One parent used to carefully pack away the keyboard in its original wrapping and put it on top of the cupboard after use. And another family kept the sheet music on a high shelf where their child couldn't see it.
Can you think of any other creative ways to stop your kids practising?
Alternatively, you might reverse this and think of ways to encourage them!
