Ha, me of all people asking this question. Ok, I have a 9 yr old daughter who is even more stubborn then myself. Today, I get one of those calls from the school. She doesnt want to sit in the assigned seat the teacher has for her. The principal asked us to come and pick her up and then arrange a meeting to speak with them about what to do if it happens again. I said there is only a few minutes left of school and I would like for her to get on the bus. I told my daughter over the phone that if she would say sorry to the Principal for wasting his time and to the teacher that I would give her a big hug when she got home and we could start all over again on monday. So, she says ok and I hang up. 15 minutes later the Principal calls again......she is out wandering the halls again just before she has to get on the bus. He is upset that I think a meeting would be a waste of time. Her excuse this time was that some boys were giving her a bad time. Here is my question. My daughter is so stubborn that if she doesnt want to do something she absolutely will not do it. We've done just about everything to persuade her to let it go but nope! she wont budge. Have any suggestions. Keep in mind, I have seven children total so I am not new to the child phase thing.
