There is another level that is inherant in the person, and no matter how hard my mother beat it into me, it didn't stick... uh.. yeah.<br />Sometimes, no amount of telling or teaching, modelling or memorising, will give a person the skills that others seemed to have a simply acquired at birth.<br /><br />Also, each person has their own internal schedule, and as parents it is all we can do to best coax out the skills as they start to develop.
