Dealing with stubborn kids

Many parents complain nowadays that their child is getting stubborn and annoying. The reason behind this is not complex. 
Lets discus that why our kids behave awkward in certain situation nd we label that behaviour as stubbornness?
To answer this question we have some more questions to ask ourselves
1- Is your child stubborn or are you?
2- Is your child born stubborn?
3- Have you never showed stubborn behaviour in front of kids?

Stubbornness is not associated with jenes.Rather it is the product of parenting. From where the child has aquired this behaviour? Definitely the child is like a blank slate  when born. He/She records eveeything he observes in his surrounding. So answer of all above question is simply "NO" 
I always say that child never learn just by listening your directions but he learns from what you do as parent because you as parent are a role model for  your child, perhaps his 1st role model.
So whenever your child is behaving stubborn , do analyze your behaviour once to check where is the problem.
