[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 203712, member: 3444"] What's the old saying about music soothing the savage beast? :D I agree that if it's causing more stress than enjoyment, it's not worth it. Let him go at his own pace. Get him some books for beginners. Let him try to teach himself. When he's ready again, you can look for someone who's a better match for him. Maybe an older teen or a young 20-something. Someone who can relate to him better. Music should be something you love to do for yourself. If you have to browbeat a kid to do it, he'll never enjoy it.
