I went through years of being math-phobic because my father, who was a math professor and department chairman, would help me with my homework. Years later, I do not have the relationship with him that that I would like to. This is why I will not give private lessons to my band students, even though many non band kids take lessons from me. Get a good external teacher for your child, right from the beginning and don't be afraid to change teachers if the fit isn't right. With a good foundation, there will be ample opportunities in the future for your child to approach you on her terms for help or advice.
