hi this is janet landsfrey welcome to un. Well, today I'm going to be talking about,

it's one of my favorite types of children. I like all children, but I have a special fondness for

these strong-willed children. I mean, I wasn't like that as a child, but I just find them so

interesting. Anyway, in this case, this parent's having a hard time

because her seven-year-old daughter, she says, is just full of negativity. She's argumentative

about everything, says no, she won't do this, won't do that, has a comeback constantly. And this parent's wondering why this is still going on

and what she can do to make it better and sort of what's going on with her child. But she's also

very perceptive like so many of the parents that write to me. So this came to me on, I believe it was a

Facebook message. Here's what the parents said.

Hi, Janet. I've been having a tough time with my seven-year-old daughter lately. She's very

argumentative. It feels like everything is a debate. Says no to almost every request. A few of the

school moms have expressed the same struggles. My daughter's a

very strong-willed child, and I was just wondering if you think that the behavior is stemming from

the big change of preschool to grade one. I know you often say these big life events can have

unsettling effects on our kids, like a new brother or sister, etc.

Maybe we forget that starting primary school is as big a life change as any,

and our seven-year-olds are also just trying to adapt.
