Sometimes, it is a challenge to parent a child with such a fierce mind of her own, but I believe that her stubborn nature will serve her well in her life. We are born with the emotional equipment that we will need for our individual lives, and trying to squelch a child's natural inklings usually ends in that same child having to relearn his or her role in the world. Haven't we all experienced this? Having to remember how to say no when something feels wrong? Or how to respond honestly to difficult questions? Stella was not born full of feist unnecessarily.
shawna you are one of a kind I will remember this when ryley gets my back up. I have found that I have to do as much if not more learning than my children....
