Extremely important in what sense? What are the specific benefits you see to having a rigid structure? I have a little sister who is in my estimation smart, but spends every waking moment (when not in school or finishing up homework) on her iPad playing video games and watching Youtube videos. I sometimes wonder if a little bit of prodding on the part of my parents would help her find other hobbies.<p>I personally feel like I suffered from my parent&#x27;s laissez faire attitude.
