I have more than my fair share of strong willed children, but that's another story!
I dont think being strong willed is wrong, unless we are strong we could easily get led into all sorts of trouble.
I was very weak willed as a youngster, and I did get involved in lots I didnt want to.
I think we have to , with God's guidance, channel that strength of character into His plans for the childs life.
I believe He prefers that boldness and uncompromising spirit, to a weak one that doesnt know even what it wants to do.
In fact I think I started off as strong willed, but my parents broke that in me, it is only now with God's healing that I am beginning to realise that I can have an opinion and not be cared of what people think of me.
God gives us the right to be wrong!
