Your stubborn child is prone to be more successful. Check out the facts.

When a child is stubborn, he/she is prone to be more successful. If your child is strong-willed or hardheaded, don't despair.


You are probably weary of that child and you are so frustrated and forced to say "I don't think I am the one that gave birth to you sef. Maybe they gave me the wrong baby in the hospital. You don't hear word!"


Most parents are struggling with this. In some children, stubbornness can be curbed to a minimal level through continous scolding and beating.


But when you see a child who does not want to yield despite using our African restore-back-to-factory reset weapons such as cane, spanks etc, don't worry too much. Most of these kids have their own good sides which can be nurtured through proper guidance and patience.


You just have to be careful as a parent to do away with any harmful things around the house.

Because If you ask them not to touch that thing, they would go right to that thing and be like "What exactly will happen if I dare it?"


The same way they attempt things that people of their age group find daunting or too tasking. They walk straight out of the box. They pursue their goals. They are resilient; relentless in their pursuits.


(Their counterparts who are passive or quiet are also goal getters, scholars but the stubborn ones are too fond of pushing beyond the boundary)


As they grow up into adolescent age, and as a student, the common traits exhibited by such kids include, rule breaking, defiance, Inattentiveness and impatience.


"The study published in the Development Psychology journal, followed 700 children from the age of 12 to 52. It looked at how behaviour in late childhood could predict participants' success later in life and whether or not stubbornness was a factor in achieving throughout adult careers."

"The team then examined which personality traits were most common in the children who grew up to be the most successful.
The results showed that children who frequently broke the rules, defied their parent and were a responsible student were the ones who went on to be high achievers and earn the most in their careers."
