Challenge them with fun games
If you give your kids fun challenges, they can improve their skills.
Choose a song you like and let them perform it.
I would like to give you an approximate timeframe for your song, maybe 2-3 weeks. It will put them under some pressure.
After that time period, you may record their guitar performance, regardless of whether or not both of you are watching them. They can compare after a few months, and it will be an encouragement to them.
Additionally, it helps them begin building up a repertoire of songs that they can use to show their talent.
Getting your child to practise (secretly)
Have them perform and play when you have family to come round. Make it into a performance and a game.
See how many different ways they can play a song in different ways. Can you play it rock or reggae.
You can have them dress up and wear fun sunglasses. So it’s extra fun for them.
Make a little stage area for them to perform their guitar solos in.
There are lots of different ways to make their practising more special.
If there are performance opportunities out there. You can use them to help motivate them as well.
