accepting of structure


Explanation:
"..accepting of structure only under constant prodding"

or "unwilling to accept structure unless.."

See examples below:
"They are poor planners and are unwilling to accept structure and discipline."

"For example, it is likely that children at younger ages will be more accepting of structure than older children within the same domain."

agree  Ramey Rieger (X): Life is hard without some form of order, but each of us has a highly idiosyncratic understanding of the concept. Ask any teenager!
