Quit piano lessons

My six year old student has just quit piano lessons. My boss announced that to me and wants to see me and talk with me on Friday. How do I face this difficult moment? What shall I do? The mother of the child told me that I was too strict with her.

Well, it all depends on how one defines "strict." I'm not a parent but from an outsider's point of view, it seems to me like a lot of young parents anymore don't want anybody telling their kids what to do at all. It may be that the child was being sent to lessons against her will - wouldn't be the first! I have a feeling that this may happen with the next teacher too...

Learning isn't necessarily an easy process. There have to be guidelines if progress is to be made; discipline has to come in somewhere. Stand your ground.
