Is it a good idea to force a child to take music lessons?

I don't think forcing a child to anything is a good idea. Yes, introducing is. But, if you will force your child in doing something is eventually going to lead hi/her detest that thing the most. Remember, as a kid how we hated when we were asked to do something that we didn't want to. Even now, as adults, would we like anyone forcing things on us? No, we won't. If you have interest in music, you can pursue your interest and as a parent you can introduce your child to music. Share with child little details and information about the particular song, the genre or play music in your car at home and if your child doesn't already have interest in music, he/she may develop it. Don't push your child into thing. Let the child slowly embrace interests and new things. And with your loving guidance your child will excel and be happy in whatever he/she takes up and that can be music, dance, sports or anything. Delve and enjoy whatever your child has interest in.

please Google on the 10 intelligence in all of us. find out if your kid has a musical liking in him or not. are you forcing your child becoz you never got this opportunity, so basically he's learning music to fill the gaps you faced or is it bcoz you are told that you must expose kids early on go these things so that they can be Jack of all.... your question is incomplete as you don't give details of what music u want ur kid to learn or his outlook towards music....or if u see it other way, u r answering your own question...u are agreeing that u r forcing your kid and forcing is anytime bad only

pleas don't force if u want try for 2 3 times n if then also he is not intrested not to force
