I have a defiant child too, and I wish I’d had someone to ask for advice years ago when he was very young! (He’s 18 now.) Somehow we made it through, and he’s turning into a wonderful young man, so there is hope! 🙂

Thank you so much for linking up with us on the Hip Homeschool Hop last week! I truly did enjoy your article and appreciate your sharing it with us.

In reply to Bethany.

Hey Bethany! We have a 2yo who’ll be 3 next month and…oh my goodness, she’s become super strong-willed overnight! This is our fourth, so we’ve been here before, but it’s still a challenge…lol.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a 2 (almost 3) year old who has become a very strong-willed and defiant child! Thanks for these tips, it’s always a blessing to read encouragement, as I’m sure every child has their defiant moments! 😉

An absolutely amazing book I read about strong willed kids is You Can’t Make Me (But I Can Be Persuaded) by Cynthis Ulrich Tobias.

In reply to Emma. Yes! It's as if our kids sense our frustration and then respond in kind. It's so difficult to keep it together, but it's definitely worth it. Thanks for stopping by!

These are great tips! I don’t consider my daughter defiant, but she has her moments. It seems that the more frustrated I get, the worse her behavior becomes, so I try to stay calm and not be reactive. I won’t pretend that I always succeed, but when I do I see a big difference. Thanks for sharing at the Thoughtful Spot!
