OMG!!!! My hands were on my head for the entire clip! My son is almost 4, and this explains him PERFECTLY. I'm glad this popped up on my feed to watch, I'd never heard of that term before. This one tip is going to be a game-changer. He just started school and it has been a terrible transition. He is very strong-willed and adamant about not liking to switch tasks.

Also, he came out ALERT. So much so, he didn't blink for like hours! I swear. His eyes were just wide-opened and he just stared at everyone. Less than 12 hours later, he was intently watching PJ Masks on the screen. Weirdest thing.

Yes you can my baby woke up every hour 24/7 to nurse for the first year. But thank God for my blessed children are a blessing. 😊saying take it or leave it works wonders 😉

Yes you can have a strong willed baby. I knew my daughter was at birth. She was highly alert all day.

🗣OMG! THIS WAS MY SON 46 YEARS AGO! Please don't LOL at me...Our son was the "poster-child" for the strong willed child. (Where) was this amazing nanny way back then???😔😆

Totally agree that babies can be strong willed

Well yeah I'm watching this to better parent my child... but I'm realizing that I'm a string willed child who got a bigger body. Learning to reparebt myself so my son can learn by example.

Aww he knows they’re talking about him

Oh lord this is my son..
.so interesting, we have to make everything into a negotiation or a funish task, but it worked in his favour as he was premature and wasn't breathing for 10 mins at birth. That stubbornness is why hes alive im sure.

I'm self-selecting and strong willed.

My toddler wants to controle me in everything. It's creepy.

[joanwalford]

Chester is really alert. Did anyone notice how he smilled at Nanny Robina while she was talking.

[calipigeon]

My son was “really there” as a baby and now he’s a menace 🥲

[creativemindz]

Dang it I’m late my daughter is 4 now and running the house.
Is that trya banks?

[nectarzetlian]

What if the child wants to do something dangerous?

[isabelmota]

Omg!this is my twins!when they don't want to do something there is absolutely NOTHING that will work. Since they were babies they would cry for 7 hours in a row not be put to bed and now they are toddlers and it's impossible to get them to do anything they don't want to do. Regular techniques as boundaries I've seen in videos don't work for them..

Oh gosh i have a strong willed 3 year old and a strong willed 1.5 year old. Both boys. Managing their behaviour tired me out

[yamunajolicoeur]

That's it the absolute secret give them a choice and make it a challenge 100 💯

[flowerbombj]

I got a 4 year strong willed boy he got a strong personality ...and strong tempered too...💪 it's very hard cause when he says no is no and he won't listen at all this It's so hard I don't know what to do anymore 💔

[Navenanthen]

Constructive, until the host (playing the devil's advocate) asked who's in charge, which immediately triggers the grown-ups' insecurities to assert their dominance over the child in a boastful manner. The alert strong-willed child will surely pick up on that and retaliate. Good luck!
