"The thing that makes you most crazy about your little one, is his greatest strength, unharnessed." I have seen my kids in a different light ever since. :-) I was told once and will never forget… “The thing that makes you most crazy about your little one, is his greatest strength, unharnessed.” I have seen my kids in a different light ever since. :-)

I love your blog but rarely check it. Today I felt prompted to check it and I found this! I've been struggling with a particularly hard patch with my 3 yr old strong willed child. It seems like nothing I say or do gets through to him. In the past few weeks, I've cried like crazy over this child and our relationship. Pregnant with my 3rd, I've even despaired over having more children. Now I read this, which I forwarded on to Mr. Skidmore, and my heart just sang with hope for the first time in weeks. I sat with tears streaming down my face and I just want to thank you for taking the time from your family to post this. This message is so timely for me! I love your blog but rarely check it.

I have one strong-willed son with a will of iron, just like my father. He would wear out 2 sets of parents, and WE are weary. It took me and my husband and our other son together just to keep a lid on him. He has turned around however and we are very proud of him, as he is using his strong will to do right and serve God.

This literally brought me to tears and gave me hope where there was none. Thank you so much. I can't wait to read more here, this writing and your honesty is such a blessing to me. It makes me remeber that God USED my strong will to keep me safe many times (while yes, I suffered for it)....I just need to have Him help me with them so that they use this for GOOD. Me too! Since I still struggle :) Many Blessings :) Ace Literally was on my knees calling out to God over two strong willed children because…I am very strong willed and do not want them to suffer as I have.

You could be writing about ME *ahem* and at least 2 of my boys. All their energy and stubborness is like a fire hose...
