NO CHILD IS STUBBORN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am convinced so many parents seeing this will jump at arguing over this assertion and even try to be defensive, possibly because they have been in the position of accusing their children of being too stubborn and recalcitrant.

Some parents say this ignorantly while others think they have done enough to ensure that their children remain obedient to them.

Dear parents, it does not work that way. Your strategy has been failing so you conclude that your child or children are too stubborn. That's not true.

Everyone has their mumu button.

It's not true Sir/Ma that your child or children are stubborn, your strategies or approaches are faulty or mundane.

No child is stubborn and you do not understand how to manage the developmental stages of their growth.

Different approaches and skills are needed to train and raise children, especially this indomie generation.

Have you noticed that our last born is always different because of the strategies our parents used on them that are different from us considering the prevailing times and seasons?

That they didn't respond to those approaches of training does not mean they are stubborn.

At work yesterday, I had two young ladies with a baby. The child is about 11months throwing tantrums. The baby belonged to one of the ladies, and the baby was carried by the other ladies who was not the mother of the child.

While the child was throwing tantrums, the lady with the baby beckoned to the mother of the child, madam comes and get your baby, he's too stubborn.

Hearing that, I was furious at her. I told her Ma, no child is stubborn please and this baby is not stubborn.

Gladly, she quickly corrected herself.

I was happy she was willing to learn because most mothers will argue with you and give all kinds of excuses why they should continue to label them as being stubborn.

You hear mothers say, I have tried everything for this child or children but to no avail.

No Ma, you might necessarily not use the right approach and strategies to get the right results.

Every stage of your child or children is characterized by certain attributes or features peculiar to that age and time of their lives.

There are characteristics you will expect from a 2-year-old child different from a 10 or 15-year-old child.

The ignorance of parents around these facts frustrates their training thus they term their children to be stubborn.

Your child is not stubborn, you don't just know how to navigate your way around training that child based on that child's uniqueness and personality.

The next time you term your child to be stubborn, ask yourself relevant questions that will help you connect with your child well. Your ability to connect with them effectively will help your ability to get them to do your bidding.

It is coach Wendy Ologe that said, "you can't correct a child you have not connected with."

Your child or children are not stubborn, no child is. This is why your personal development as a parent is important in training and raising your children.
