It's a delicate balance. If we assign personal projects in the beginning many just say, "I don't know how to do this, I don't know what you want," and will flail because they're expecting more structure than a personal project can possibly give. You have to slowly train them to the point where they will try things on their own and can abandon your training wheels. It's like they're in a mental cage, I don't know how else to describe it.
