Practice Makes Peeved
Tonight we were working with Riley on his catechism questions and there was one question with which he was having a particularly hard time. He kept saying it over and over but would miss a couple of words every time. He was getting very frustrated so I thought I’d offer some encouragement.
Drew: Hey buddy, don’t get frustrated. That’s what practice is all about. You know how when daddy is practicing his saxophone he has to play the same thing over and over and over?
Riley: Yeah, it’s really annoying.
Sounds like something my son would say. Disarmingly honest some times and greatly lacking in patience . . .
Totally understand… why do I need to play this piano piece over and over and over. I already have all 5 pages memorized… the 8 year old.
