Strong willed children can be a challenge when they're young, but if sensitively parented they become terrific teens.<br />A strong-willed child (SWC) is one who loves to challenge the rules. This is a child who knows that anything is possible.Sanjeet Veenhttp://sanjeetveenreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143258261280296039.post-62398323857811042622015-11-24T23:26:08.039+10:002015-11-24T23:26:08.039+10:00Definitely I love her curiosity and thirst for kno...Definitely I love her curiosity and thirst for knowledge and that she doesn't just believe something because someone told her {although it is frustrating at times}.Finding Myself Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214517047937382835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143258261280296039.post-88131502608021012622015-11-24T23:24:56.744+10:002015-11-24T23:24:56.744+10:00Yep, I hear ya!Yep, I hear ya!Finding Myself Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214517047937382835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143258261280296039.post-53825407418206164542015-11-24T23:24:41.494+10:002015-11-24T23:24:41.494+10:00I think mine swings between her normal strong will...I think mine swings between her normal strong willed personality and flat out defiance some days.Finding Myself Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214517047937382835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143258261280296039.post-7458863031434633692015-11-24T23:23:54.766+10:002015-11-24T23:23:54.766+10:00Oh she's really good at pushing my buttons too...Oh she's really good at pushing my buttons too.

She does great things though when she gets it and has excelled in many areas, as much as a 2yr old can, but I think lots of people {who don't really know her} still misunderstand her personality.
