You love your child. There are days, though, when it feels like all-out war between the two of you. You know this kid is talented and capable of so much … but why do kids have to be so difficult?
Parenting a powerful child can be exhausting – but it can also be rewarding when things finally click. Maybe you can identify with some of these scenarios:
- You had no idea that a person that small could be that stubborn and so easily reduce you – a grown adult – to tears.
- You and your procrastinating child are both tired of you nagging them to do things … and it seldom works anyway.
- That sweet, compliant kid seemed to change personalities the minute he started middle school, and now his grades are tanking.
- You’ve heard “choose your parenting battles,” but honestly you feel like you’re on the defensive most of the time.
