I'm realising more and more that dd (8.5) is very competitive about her music (not so generally I'd say).
So she likes the fact that she's done grades early etc. And I noticed recently that after a music festival that she entered she's been quite charged up for practice. I think that it's because she observed players with a wide range of ability and could see standards that she could work towards in the form of little people not much older than herself.
I think this is good if it motivates her to practise and she is happy to do so. However I don't want her to become fiendish. I'm wondering how I can allow her to use this aspect of her personality to good effect?
