Strong-willed kids like to be in charge. Despite the fact that you’re the parent and the one who pays all the bills, this child will find it hard to let lead her. Kindly remind her of her familial role and how she needs to respect her parents and trusted people in authority.

Help her to understand which times call for which behaviors.
