[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 young boys: one a rule follower and one very defiant. Reading the thread about dud children now makes me really worried about my defiant child. Please tell me not all defiant children grow up to be troubled! If you had one of those, please tell me how they are doing as adults and if you have any advice on how to raise such a child.[/quote] I know my father was a defiant child, and he grew up to be a successful business owner (he always told me he could never work for anyone else because of his personality :)). I was probably “defiant” too (girl though so presented differently than defiance in boys) and am doing well. I have one myself now and am try to spend more time talking with her about what she’s feeling — I think reacting to big emotions drives some of her defiance — and I also really try not to engage with her in power struggles. It’s tough, good luck! But I can tell you not all defiant kids turn out to be “duds.” [/quote]
