4 Things I've Learned from My Strong-willed Child

      Webster’s Dictionary defines strong-willed as “ very determined to do something even if other people say it should not be done.” I don’t think Mr. Webster had any strong-willed children because that definition is an understatement. He craftfully uses the phrase when others say “it should not be done”, opposed to it cannot be done. Choosing to do something despite people’s doubt is determination . That characteristic is not in question because determination is a choice. Being strong-willed is a personality…uhm.. struggle. Struggle for whom?       Personality types and quirks can involve many people, not just the person to whom they belong. Oh yes, that person must learn the good and bad of their personality in hopes to use it properly or at least not get themselves in trouble. It also affects family, friend, teachers, and RANDOM PEOPLE (Yes, that’s the worse… When it affects random people.) You know, like the random people in the grocery store or at the doctor’s office
