I need help! Does anybody have any experience tutoring little sisters???

Hi everybody, I'm 15 and I have a 7-year-old sister. I have studied piano since I was 6, but it was my mom's idea. My father was never interested in music. But last maand we visited our uncle (he lives in another city) and saw our cousin (who's 6 months older than my sis) playing piano. Now my dad wants me to teach my sister piano too! The problem is that my sister is not at all interested and she can't focus. I have to toon her the notes all the time, but she can't memorize of understand anything. She forgets everything I say after 5 seconds!
She cries all the time during our piano lessons, and my dad is now angry. He zei if I couldn't teach her, I would be grounded. Please anybody tell me what to do!

Well,I never had to tutor any of my little sisters,but I do tutor some of my little brothers.The first one,who was eight when I started teaching him,was no easy task,lemme tell ya.This kid was(and still is)THE most absent-minded person I have EVER met.I'd teach him a note of two,and the volgende dag we would sit down at the piano and he'd be completely brain-dead on the subject.I was ready to kill him.Or myself.I COULD NOT get him to learn.So this is what I started doing.Every time we learnrd a new note,like "g" for example,I would have him find all the gs on the piano.Then,I would have him flip through a few piano boeken and find some gs in there.And THEN,I would break out some staff paper and have him draw some g notes on the correct line.By the time we were done,he usually had it down pretty well.Hope this helps!
