How to raise a strong-willed Child? I keep researching it over and over again to no avail. I have no family and all of my friends are childless. No religion no faith to fall back on. The father is just as angry, just as stubborn as our child, what was I thinking? They say strong-willed children rule the world but I really hope not. I've raised my child with manners and respect for everyone and their behavior reflects their father. I've tried positive parenting, redirecting, active listening, and the only thing that my child listens to is spanking.
I cry every night I have to do it. I don't understand why the other methods don't work.
So many broken items. Accidents. Days of pure screaming. My child doesn't learn from mistakes.
I love my child but its difficult sometimes to want to get out of bed.
I love my child but sometimes I feel like I'm not a good enough mom to handle this.

Have you tried to give rewards for good behaviour instead of punishing? Candy, an hour of IPad.. an hour at the park with Mom, playing ball outside together? You have to follow through with rewards or kiss your progress goodbye. Talk with your child when he/she and you are calm. When your child is being stubborn nothing you do or say will get through to him/her. Talk about the behaviour and the consequences after the meltdown. I know it's hard to stay calm but if you must step outside while your child calms down. Talk to your child at a calm moment to explain that there will be changes with discipline. Tell your child what kind of behaviour you would like, what you will not tolerate and how priveldges will be earned with good behaviour. Explain to your child that you are sorry for spanking but you felt hopeless as a Mom. Tell your child that you will work on it together. Be open. Talk a lot about behaviour and feelings. Spend quality time together as that is priceless. Park, library is great, picnic, swimming. Enjoy time together and you will both feel happier and more satisfied..
