Default Re: Strong willed child

Yes, she's 7 now.
I was sitting at church when she was 4 maybe 3.still. I had left to churches because they just couldn't stand the fact that a 3 year old will not sit still and be quiet for church and I walked out. One church, the childrens pastor took Jessica, who was 11 at the time, aside and told her Kaitlyn needs to be taken to the bathroom for spankings.
It was a Baptist church, so I knew they probably felt that way, but to pull Jessica aside as if maybe her big sister will do it.
I got to the point where I felt churches and religion have nothing to offer me. It was all well and good when I had the good kids and everybody else's kids were crazy and I was expected to just put up with their crazy kid being mean to mine. But now... I said done. I'm so sick of church and their judgemental people because my 3 year old is loud and energetic.
I happened upon this church that didn't care that she was Wiggly and would not whisper really quiet, and I would have to walk her out when she wasn't getting her way because there would be a meltdown. It's a cool story that's a whole other topic.
One cup of the couples has a degrees in child development and they were just fascinated with her and watching her play. After church we'd all sit outside and the kids would play and we would talk and eat.
Anyways, the guy, Randy, said wow she is so intelligent but she is also extremely strong-willed. When she's trying to do something and it doesn't work out, she keeps trying . She uses a different tactic each time until she gets what she wants. A lot of preschoolers would get mad and have a fit after it didn't work out a couple of times. Not Kaitlyn though.
She has the intelligence to know at 3 to keep trying and the tenacity to not quit.
He laughed and said you'll have fun with her. She's full of fire and she'll change the world.some.day. God help anyone who tries to stand in her way. You just have to survive her childhood.
Hahaha. That has been so true.
