[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 96669"] Sometimes when a child feels like they have no control over what is going on inside their little heads, they have a need to try to control other things around them. It gives them a sense of control. When my difficult child's anxiety is up, so is her stubbornness and rigidity. I will just never believe that a 5 year old is bad just for the sake of being bad, although when you're living with the behavior day to day it can be hard to think that. I know. been there done that. When you're living with the constant 'defiance' and stubbornness it can be difficult to remember that [i]something[/i] is fueling it. Once you can identify the triggers, you should be able to make changes. [/QUOTE]
