When my kids were young, I would sometimes wonder what I had done wrong when child after child was born into our family with far too high a dose (剂量) of “strong will”. I would_______observe other families whose children seemed so understanding and so easy to please. My kids, _______, were “spirited”. They hardly ever obeyed me, constantly testing my_______. It was their way or the highway or at least a lot of screaming and other such nonsense if their way was not acknowledged. I began to wonder if strong will was a genetic trait (遗传特性).

I glanced down at my screaming baby, and_______if she was talking to the right person.

“They are brave and determined,” she went on, “which means that they will_______great things.”

I told her that I hoped she was right, and she_______repeated, with a loving smile, that she was. Quite_______, I was a little shocked at her timing. She had seen me come to church week after week, and watched me__________with my noisy troublemakers. She knew that I spent more time walking the halls__________ trying to keep them quiet than actually sitting in the meetings. I did not understand why she had picked that particular moment, when my patience was running out and my child was screaming, to tell me that my kids were full of __________.

As I realized not too late, “Strong-willed children are a__________, not a curse (诅咒)!” Yes, there have been times when I have__________wanted to throw my hands in the air and scream, and times when I have done just that. But there have__________been moments when I have felt like I was the student instead of the teacher.
