I work myself into a lather sometimes trying to explain something to one of my pupils and she simply will not have it.I have given up but I know that she is going to take an awful 'fall' one of these days when she finds out through bitter experience that she was not right. I want to prepare her for this, to save her some pain but is it possible? Ha ha…you can’t make me open that song link you know…I refuse to be drawn into the trap :-D

I'm one of those kids myself. And he says the wonderful thing about those traits is that they are the kids who won't go along with peer pressure and have that first drink or that first smoke or ??? You're right - it IS a way to make sense of things when you feel you can be surrounded by facts. Loved the post! Dr. Dobson talks about this in his “The Strong-Willed Child” book.

She isn't aware of them though unless I tell her. I was impressed that he knew. I thought he was really having seizures. I have learned to pick my fights some of them just aren't worth the drama. Great perspective. I love the way you think. Thanks for coming over and leaving me a comment. I am happy to have a new blog to add to my list :) My daughter has seizures and they are hardly noticable. She isn’t aware of them though unless I tell her. I was impressed that he knew.
