My first child was an easy baby, one who listens when you reason with him, one who has patience, one who is calm and he is a BOY. So when my doctor told me that I was expecting a girl as my second child, I candidly thought "okay, she'll be easy too..." How wrong was I to make such an assumption! My daughter turns to be the total opposite of her brother. She is not the kid who will easily give up on her wants, not even with logic reasoning. She is persistent, brave, daring and will do anything that interests her with no fear.
I’ve raise my first child pretty well, though of course, there are bound to be some challengers. But with a strong-willed girl, at times I find myself at wits' end as to how best shall I raise her, be her greatest fan and greatest partner. I know it is definitely good that she's strong willed. This is the very characteristic of a go-getter, a self-driven, and a motivated person. With strong-willed children you’ve got to be very tactful on how you deal with them for you do not want to kill the confidence they have. Here’s an article I’d like to share, giving you 10 Tips for Positive Parenting Your Strong-Willed, Spirited Child. Enjoy!
