Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
Dear Mother of The Strong Willed Child,
Remember one day your strong willed child may be used for greatness. Their certainty that their way is best, their assurance that their time is ideal, their bold assertiveness that their choices are superior can be molded and shaped into characteristics that are needed to lead the next generation: integrity, tenacity, perseverance, boldness, confidence. If you foster and direct this amazing little one they may just be used to spread ho...pe, lead a nation, inspire change, declare good news and, above all, instill faith in an upcoming generation that so desperately needs a voice of truth. So take heart mama! Keep up the good work! Train that child that is constantly challenging you, making you take pause and question your skill, and never making life dull. They will be leaders and visionaries and it's no accident they were placed into your care, it was purposefully planned and you are equipped to do this. Be their loudest cheerleader, their grounding rock, their spiritual trainer, their listening ear. Your child is a masterpiece who was created with purpose. What an honor it is to be chosen to raise them.
Dear God, Help me to remember that being strong willed can have great benefit. Parenting a strong willed child is hard. It's exhausting. I admit, I don't feel adequate. Help me to remember the great honor it is to raise my child and that this little one has been given a great gift.
Amen.
