Hand problems, tendinitis, etc happen later, and when your hand has settled in it's development. For such a young child the tendons and muscles are developing. Mozart! Beethoven. Brahms. The modern era Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Jarrett, Pearlman, Casals --- all started as very, very young children and NONE had hand or psychological problems because they started young!

Wow. If you suddenly decided to practice 6 hours a day when you were used to doing a half hour, without gradually increasing your routine, you'd hurt yourself -- IF you were an adult.
