Bribes Work

They never. ever. get tired of the park.

Gracie has been taking violin since she was 5 and she has almost never given me a moments trouble when it comes to practicing.  About a month ago she had a little breakdown over this one song.  She hated it.  Couldn't (or wouldn't) get the timing, notes and bowings right.

We had a long talk about it.  

She was still mad and upset about it.

So I went to my "go to" solution.

A bribe.

It totally worked!

If she focused and got serious about learning the song by her next lesson and could pass it off she would get to go ice skating with her BFF Cambree.

I'll be talking more about violin drama with Kloe on Wednesday :).
