I do drive my toddlers, kids and teens - all my toddlers have to get to level 5 in their skills and my kids have to complete three of the four kid aspirations (they never finish the social butterfly). Kids and teens have to do the school project (if they bring one home) as well as homework and extra credit every day, even if they don't get enough sleep. (Fortunately, my kids usually have enough points accumulated to get the 'seldom weary' trait before they age up to teen.) At very least, they have to have the good manners and responsibility traits when they age up to YA. And, they have to exercise every day, but that gives them a bit of fun and relaxation, so it works for the good. (Kids do the monkey bars; teens do yoga or 'jog to clear mind' when they come home in a snit about something.) No time for scouts or playdates.
Once they get to YA, I sometimes have a plan for them (the YA in my current generation is working on perfecting every garden plant, so she's at the fishing pond every day to get fertiliser). However, the focus is more on raising their kids. If they have a job, it's usually to keep them out of my hair. I do drive them to get aspiration points - all my Sims have to have the 'seldom weary' and then the 'independent' trait. (I hate wasting time on socialization when they could be skilling or doing homework instead.)
