Hey there, today I will be talking about the Type 3 child; The Determined Child also known as a Strong Willed Child.
You will know when you have a determined child on your hands because The Type 3 child is the most noticeable.
The determined child is naturally more physical, active and stubborn.
He or she was born with a drive to get things done, usually in their own specific way.
They are usually told to “calm down” or “stop being so demanding”.
The Determined Child Mantra is; Let’s Get Results!
- They have a strong will.
- They will pursue several big goals at once.
- Determined types are naturally active and adventurous – They are ready to go, do, and explore!
- They want to try leadership positions in school, home , or work.
- They are self motivated rather than motivated by others.
- Can be loud, forceful, or straight to the point – Also seen as bluntly honest.
THE BEST WAY TO CONNECT WITH A DETERMINED CHILD
- Try not to let your stubborn personality butt heads with their stubborn personality.
- Instead of struggling to reign them in, try giving a determined child a bit more freedom to discover for herself.
- Cheer them on in their goals.
- Encourage their confidence and passion.
- Instead of questioning, “Do you think that’s a good idea?, try offering, ” I’m excited for you and I’m here to help! but have you ever thought about……….?”
So guys what do you think? Do you recognized any of these traits in your child/children?
Thanks for your time, until next time, stay bless.
