I found this amazing definition you can read here!
I loved this definition because, it broke down different traits common in strong willed children.
The traits include:
Persistance
Inflexibility
High mental power in other words creativity and imagination
High physical energy
Determination
Are not these talents we want as adults?!?!?
So why do so many adults want to 'break' these habits in kids?!?!?!
Yes, it is highly difficult to parent these traits!
However, the site also says,
"Strong-willed children are the ones who mature into adults who have an extra dose of grit and tenacity to effectively make a positive mark on, not only their immediate surroundings, but the entire world."
Wouldn't you be proud of your child if this described them? Lets take these traits and find the good in them rather then just see the negative and try to 'break' them out of our children.
