I noticed his strong-willed traits when he was two. Sleep has always been a struggle especially naps. I use to dread putting him to nap because I saw the tantrum ahead. He used to cry for three hours until he got what he wanted as a baby. Sleep training was a nightmare! He is very persistent and outspoken as a toddler. I felt like nobody understood what I was dealing with when he was two. “It’s just terrible twos.” Nope! Patience, routine, and approach with him is so important! Not only is he strong-willed but he has high energy and very strong for his age. Being pregnant and trying to deal with his tantrum, outburst left me very emotional and being home during the pandemic definitely added to the stress level. I’m learning how to parent my child better and it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone.

My son will soon turn two and already I’ve noticed he is (and will be) a strong-willed child. I’ve been struggling A LOT with him during meal times and I’m sure it’s gonna get ‘easier’ as he grows older and is able to understand. Any advice, comments, suggestions are more than welcome!

My daughter is now 15 and is still a Strong Willed Child , I’ve always allowed her to be this way , at times it’s been difficult I.e . My do it !!! As a youngster , when you need to get out the door , I think patience and allowing your child to be the little person they are is the key to success . As a 15 year old she is a leader and a grade A student . Believe me a willful child iIS going to make you a very proud parent x
