[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t want that.

About 90% of the  disciplined and high achieving adults who I know are stressed and never satisfied (i.e., miserable).

Also, I’m going to have to go with it’s a combination of an innately anxious personality (nature) and a demanding parent who is also disciplined and high achieving.   [/quote]

I don’t agree.  I was the driven, perfectionistic straight A student and I did not struggle with anxiety and my parents were typical 80s/hands off.  It certainly can be a personality type associated with anxiety and intense parenting, but not always.  I do agree that for the most part, inner drive and persistence is innate.[/quote]

Kids can learn persistence. They develop a growth mindset.  Finding something that they like but have to work at is key. At my house, that was karate. My son wanted to quit many times. We made him keep at it.  He now has a black belt.  He learned to work through something that does not come naturally. He learned to learn. [/quote]
