His violin teacher established the 100 practices in 100 days goal, but we have embraced it. I love that it's consistent, hard work that's emphasized instead of an end result.
As Shin'ichi Suzuki himself said, "Never hurry, never stop." I love that philosophy and have officially adopted that quote as the motto for our home education. So much of what I have read in this book, which was also suggested by his violin teacher, can be applied to teaching a child reading, writing and 'rithmetic as well as the violin. Here are two more favorite Suzuki quotes found in the book, which is an inspirational and practical guide to parents as teachers:
"Relax, with the determination to make your child great."
"Children like what they can do."
