I am only six minutes in and I love this conversation. My example is my daughter who is 14. She took two years of piano lessons with a teacher...and loves piano. However, she no longer practices as she should per her teacher. My daughter wasn't sure if she wanted to continue. I gave her permission to quit. She still struggled with the decision on whether to continue on or not. It was when I said...you are just taking a break. It doesn't have to be permanent. You can always get back into piano when you are ready. This is just a break. That wording...Break...was exactly what she needed to hear. That it's not quitting. She decided to take the break and is so much happier now.

I love that example! And it's so true, quitting doesn't have to be permanent-it's a break of undetermined length. 😀
