I found out while raising my strong willed son that “Do you know why we do it this way?” Worked so much better than “I told you to do it this way!”

When the SWP try's to pretend to be your Christian mentor. At the same time claiming to be a witch using crystals.

I do feel at some point as Christians the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT should kick in.

I AM the strong-willed person. And so is my only child, a daughter just like me. Help me, Jesus!🙏✝️🕊️❤️‼️

I raised a strong willed child and it was rough! I read ALL the books, but I never found them helpful. I think tone of voice and word phrasing are THEE MOST important tips I've ever heard. I don't remember reading that in those books.

Don't take the bait. 😢 Easier said than done. YET! A very worthy goal.

I am strong willed.....and have had a life long of struggles......not ever reconizing-admitting how large my participation played with my-in my difficult life.....i wish i have had these TOOLS much earlier......my parents lacked communication skills and they passed on these deficiencies unto us......These SKILLS ought to TAUGHT AT SCHOOLS AT A YOUNG AGE......how many lives we would improve....how many conflicts lessened.....how much violence avoided!!! So much rencor, ressentment saved......SAD SO SAD few in the education and Police, Armed Forces, Intelligence sectors have missed these opportunities!!!!

Cynthia’s book completely changed my life. As a homeschool mom, it was so instrumental in healing my relationships with my children and allowing me to recognize who I was and who my children were and how to make those work together. BEAUTIFUL 💕

Oh. When the government and media was telling me what we had to do regarding Covid, I became defiant. I’m glad to be strong-willed. I obey God’s Will, no other.

True immaturity shows in rebellious attitudes. Conflict resolution doesn’t mean placating swp.

This was great. I usually flee confrontation, the Spirit is giving me new tools and I thank Him for adding this!

I have a difficult coworker, who definitely qualifies as a SWP. I let myself get angry and reacted to her when she was being ridiculous toward me and I don’t want to lose my power with her the next time because I lost my cool and my negative reaction was my own fault. It did not make the situation better so next time, and I know there will be, I will pause, and I will definitely react differently. Thank you for sharing this! I do pray for her, but I’m going to pray about how to react the next time.

She said, "check your tone" and am like, "I can't even get myself to say a word at that point. My heart will be beating 1000 times more"

My first thought upon hearing Mrs. Tobias was, “A certain tone of voice can alienate a strong willed person??? Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!!!!” (Hands on my hips!) However, maybe all she is saying is that SWPs have a very deep sense of human dignity, which I can appreciate. I truly believe that we should ALWAYS honor another person’s human dignity. In fact, I think we should be as protective of another’s dignity as we are of our own! Now, THAT one thing, right there-mutual honor-would resolve ALL, (so-called) race, class, and gender issues!!! 😊❤🥰
