I feel like I've been pretty gentle and perhaps even coddled my sensitive child. Recently she has gotten more pushy and I've started pushing back more, as well. I've yelled at her a few times, which seems to be the only way to get her to realize I'm being serious (usually I'm yelling, "Go to your room". I'm not just yelling to yell). This morning I made her wear a new pair of shoes that she refused to wear because she doesn't like the way they feel. After we got into the car, I found she forgot about them and ran into daycare with no issue.

If you have a sensitive child, do you find yourself being more forceful with them as they get older?
