The favorable reactions I received from other people on hearing my playing was
always an incentive for me to practice.

What I don't understand is, why would you want to force a child onto an
instrument? Unless that child shows natural aptitude towards it, or else
musical talent runs in your family, I would suggest channeling his energies
towards something that he's interested in or shows promise in.

Do you know what you get when you "force" a child to take piano lessons?

A mediocre piano player.
