Strong-Willed Child
Today I was told by Lily's occupational therapist that I needed to read the book The Strong-Willed Child. What?! Not my child...no way! BJ picked up two copies if that tells you anything.
We bought that book when Andrew was 3 years old. Now Im dusting it off to re-read with Miss Emma Grace- - -if that makes you feel any better! :) (All 3 year olds are strong willed - some just more so than others! :) ) ~Cindy
I feel like the past few weeks has been the strong-wild child vs. the stronger-willed mommy. I've tried reward systems, picture charts, bribery, praise, and every motivational trick I can think of. The only motivation my child responds to is the kind she can feel on her behind! :-)

Hehe...I was once told that my child could make James Dobson cry. I laughed and wholeheartedly agreed. Welcome to the club! :-)

I have 2 strong willed children....maybe that is why Taylor and Carson get along so well with Lily.....they are all the same breed! HA!!!!
If you happen to lose those two copies, you're welcome to borrow my worn out, highlighted, dog-eared, notes-in-the-margin, binding-creased copy!
