Strong willed girl

[CMC10]

Hi my little girl is 4 and I feel like since the day she’s been born she’s been hard work, she’s so constant, strong willed and controlling, I feel suffocated most of the time as she’s doesn’t give me 5 minutes, I do my best as a mum but I always feel like I’m failing? I’ve got a son who is 10 and I have constant mum guilt to him as she just just so demanding it’s draining, does anyone know any techniques or books to help? Thanks x

@Mmcdnd not my original post but my daughter was very like it. Aged 8 now a very kind natured, well-mannered - and even biddable - little girl! They change so much, I'd never have believed it at the time as she was so willful!

Just keep going consistently. Take no shit and never make idle threats, but balance with lots of proactive affection, reward and high praise in all non-naughty moments. She will learn to prefer those!
