At the end of the day, parents of strong-willed children often feel as if they’ve been engaged in hand-to-hand combat—and that the child won! Many parents consider being strong-willed a negative personality trait because it often creates resistance and frustration in family life. Yet, in reality, it’s the strong-willed kids who are often better equipped to succeed, be creative, and face adversity.
Children with strong wills have the potential to become the next generation of leaders. They have their own ideas and plans. They’re persistent, confident, passionate, and determined to succeed at whatever they do.
Unfortunately, it can be hard raising a leader. Don’t be discouraged by the effort it takes to teach a strong-willed child which limits not to push. The strong-willed child accomplishes things in life, because the roadblocks that might hold others back are no match for this kid’s determination. The most important thing you can do is to help him know the difference between obstacles to overcome and limits to live within. To do this, your will needs to be stronger than your child’s!
A strong will can be an asset… as long as the heart is in the right place.
