You are in my prayers because I have been where you are now!
Please perservere, because I can tell you that a strong-willed child can grow up to be a delightful young adult with a strong drive to pursue their interests and excel at them.
My only advice: give love, respect, patience, stand your ground when necessary, and more patience.
