[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm parenting this kid. My 12 year old DD has a very strong personality. The bossy thing gradually got better. Although there was some intervention on our part, telling her to stop telling other kids what to do. But I think her peers played a bigger role in this.  She has a very nice group of friends.

She still is strong willed. (Let's face it-- stubborn). And that can be a parenting challenge, because if she decides not to do something, then she doesn't do it, and she cannot be bribed, coerced or punished into changing her mind. But as she enters adolescence, I'm glad she has a backbone. I think she is well equipped to stand up for herself and not give in to peer pressure. [/quote]

This!

It is far better to raise a bossy girl than a compliant girl.

No boy iw going to talk a bossy girl into doing anything she doesn't want to do.

Focus on giving her the skills to turn that bossiness into strength and headstrongness by the time she gets to the teen years.

Also, really stress with her how important kindness is and most importantly, looking out and standing up for those weaker than her.[/quote]
