Ego

My 13 year old daughter has suck a huge Ego!!! She thinks that she is so good playing her Double Bass that she never needs to practice. She never plays it when she brings it home to practice and when I take her to school early I found out today she's isn't practicing shes socializing.  What she don't understand is there is always someone better than you and practice makes you even better.  This is something I came to know yesterday afternoon!

I am glad she is confident but she is beyond confident! This weekend I have to buckle down on her,, she is suppose to practice at least 80 minutes a week. it sounds like a lot , but it really isn't 20 mins a day 4 days a week. I asked her if she wanted to continue with Orchestra, she said she did and I asked if she wanted to continue with GYSO she said she did.  I told her I would continue to take her if she would practice.. I don't want her wasting my time of there's . I hope my talk with her is heard and she starts being more serious and less cocky,
