[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be much more worried about the rule follower. I raised my six kids to be defiant. To have the guts to stand their ground no matter who doesn't like it. Raise them with a good, solid base and teach them to always stand up for what they believe in. The defiant one will have more luck as an adult than the compliant one. Compliance creates slaves of society. I spent my whole life defying those who tried to control me. If you give someone an inch, they'll take your freedom. I am not afraid to take risks. I have always been the defiant one. I've also had a lot more fun than those who are fearful. I was born fearless. Everything is an adrenaline rush except for mediocrity. [/quote]

Disagree. I would definitely be worried more about my defiant kid. Why would you raise your kids to be defiant?

"Defiant kids have patterns of anger, irritability, arguing, toward adults and authority figures. They also have Angry and irritable mood swings.

Often and easily loses temper
Is frequently touchy and easily annoyed by others
Is often angry and resentful

Argumentative and defiant behavior:

Often argues with adults or people in authority
Often actively defies or refuses to comply with adults' requests or rules
Often deliberately annoys or upsets people
Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior"[/quote]
The poster you are responding to is not using “defiant” in the more clinical way you and everyone else on here means. The poster with the six kids is just smugly patting herself for raising kids to always question authority. I suspect this goes well beyond raising kids to be critical thinkers, which most of us aspire to do. [/quote]

And that's your take on her comment? lol.

Not sure what the the lady with the 6 kids means but she's associating a "rule follower" with words like Compliance, slavery, fearful and mediocrity.

She's nuts!
