I first learned about the strong-willed child in one of my child psychology classes in college. The information presented at that time painted a pretty dismal picture of what it meant to deal with this temperament. Stubborn, obstinate, rebellious, virtually impossible to discipline- not an attractive list of characteristics. The parents of these children were endlessly frustrated and exhausted. I was happy to move on from this subject of study. And then I gave birth to my very own strong-willed child. From the moment she came on the scene, my oldest daughter was determined to do life on her own terms.
