my DD5 who is HG hss been highly willful and stubborn since she was about one year old. One example, at age 4, we are about to walk on hot pavement and so I say "put on your shoes, the pavement is hot".. and since she didn't think of it herself, she says back "I like hot food and I like hot pavement" and proceeds to walk across it wincing but never admitting to the pain. I've realized that she just needs to come to conclusions herself and can't just be told anything. So we pick our battles and just hope it gets better soon. Try to use it to our advantage. Made her the "boss" of the laundry and so she's taken over that job.. and hates to relinquish control even for the parts she can't do yet (like reaching the dials to turn on dryer).. So i'm smiling at that and wondering what will happen when she'll realize that i really don't want to do the laundry..
