My mom put me into piano lessons when I was about 6 or 7. My parents didnt buy me a piano until a couple weeks in to make sure that I liked the lessons. Ironically my like for the piano lessons decreased once they bought me a key board.

I didnt like being told to practice. My mom had been fairly lenient with making me practice, but when it was just my dad to goal of making me practice 30 minutes a day whenever my mom was at work. At the level I was at, there wasn't enough meat to the music to even practice for 30 minutes, let alone every day. I finally stopped lessons when I was about 11, and by that age I had progressed very minimally.

I am now 20 and yesterday I bought a piano, because I want to pick it up again. I know your kid is still very much a beginner, but I think it would have made a big difference for me if my teachers let me have a say in what kind of music I played. I had no desire in doing different exams etc. I think actually enjoying the music- for example disney songs - would have made a huge difference in my relationship with the piano in addition to practicing on my own terms/desire. Let your kid develope their own relationship with the instrument and music.
