  1. lack of ownership .. parent’s expectation unmet
  2. parent imposing discipline
  3. uncomfortably high target with inevitable penalty, which may not induce ownership!
  4. give-up; engine loss of power
  5. feet dragging, wasting parent’s time
  6. tension, anger, regret, possibly leading to more corrective action such as discipline

In each past disaster, I see this vicious “triangle” (imprecise OK). I’m yet to single out a key factor. Maybe there isn’t a single key factor. More important question is: how to break this triangle.
