Teaching distracted & tired 6yo who has weak arms Grade 1 Burgmuller

Missed the lesson before apologies...
LOCATION: HONG KONG Muso Academy
Week 2 of Yannick learning Grade 1 La Candeur and L'Arabesque Burgmuller (and supposedly a third piece, but we didn't get to touch it this lesson). He's doing more technical pieces to increase his motor skills. I am able to do to thanks to his amazing & dedicated Mummy for ensuring his previous 6-Month Fingers Exercise, Schmitt, Hanon and Scales get all done.
This lesson Yannick did his absolute best but you can see he was tired and a little bit distracted today. Also needed to go to Mum a few times for comfort. Noticed that he started to go into La La Land and I tried the '3 2 1' tactic but it didn't work. SO what to do?
I told him to 'catch' the soft toy to refocus him and it worked! So when you are a Muso-Method teacher you are always trying to find new ways to engage the kids in a fun and serious way.

I wish all parents are like the boy’s mom. Sad truth is some parents enrol their kids to music lessons and don’t monitor their child’s daily practice and fire back at the teacher why their kid is not progressing. 😂 anyways, the boy is doing well! Congratulations, teacher! 🎉
