[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can force a child to be self-driven. But I DO think you can force them to be responsible for themselves. I am not super self-driven, and never was, but I always did my homework without nagging because it was made clear to me that doing well in school was my job. I wasn't expected to get straight As, but I was expected to do the best I could. That meant As and Bs, but no Cs, bc they knew I was smarter than that. My sister was incredibly self driven. She put huge pressure on herself to always get straight As. My mom was not pressuring her to do that. She's just like that. She taught herself to read at age 3 because she was jealous my brother was learning in kindergarten. My mom didn't really help because she was busy, but my sister found a way. You can't teach/force that, that's just how she is...[/quote]
