[quote=Anonymous]eh.. I think OP maybe didn't explain it right. My 17 yr old DC once told me to push them more, that they needed it because even though they knew how important it was to do abc, and want to do xyz, they are often lazy and need accountability and pushing. I got annoyed with DC when they said that because I reminded DC how much they fight me on it when I push, but then DC told me to just ignore that behavior because they are kids, and of course they are going to push back and whine. It's kind of like when teens fight against restrictions but at the same time they need boundaries. That said, I'm not a tiger parent. There is a limit to what I push for. Part of the challenge of parenting, IMO, is walking a fine line between pushing too hard and coddling.[/quote]
