Your household may not have boundaries, but the society at large has.

You may pamper them when young, but others can’t tolerate theIr behaviour when they become adults.

They may turn out to be successful and wealthy, but they may be very lonely too.

Many psychologists may not live the day to witness what stubborn children turn out to be when they grow old and live in aged care homes. These turn out to be the biggest pain to the carers.

Even when they become demented, they may not eat and spit out the food if they do not like it, and behave just as stubborn children as they once were.

Many children become as successful as any stubborn children when they turn adulthood. Obviously, the term success must be defined in a broader sense. A stubborn person may be a success in one field but regarded as complete failure in many aspects.

A child suffering from Asperger's Syndrome may be regarded as stubborn, but many of them turn out to be someone with totally unacceptable behaviour in a social environment. These may have IQ well over 140 or 180.

The real world does not pamper anyone, and therefore stubborn children that receive unacceptable level of attention may not survive easily when merge with the real people.

It is important to realise that motivation comes from within. No one can motivate another person if the recipient is a stubborn mule.

Thank you.
