Dealing with a misbehaved mini-me can be a hairpulling headache. Their resistance to authority and general mischievousness often make us wonder if they're a demon's spawn, or if we're terrible parents.

Before you start combing through Google for someone who can perform an exorcism to turn your demon-child into a sweet, obedient ray of sunshine, research conducted by ResearchGate claims kids who like to do things their way have a high chance of becoming successful adults in the future!

The study shows that the little independent thinkers have a higher tendency to question things happening around them and to think outside of the box. The ability to go beyond established limits gives these kids a creative advantage when it comes to new ideas or starting a new business.

Those same "hairpulling headaches" who were once considered aggressive, disobedient, stubborn, and overall bad were able to achieve important positions at work, typically outearning the more disciplined people who had good grades during their childhood.

The behavior and personalities of children play a significant role in their futures. In addition to the quality of academic and professional training, a child's interests and responsibilities are factors used to achieve career and economic success.

Thanks to their selfishness and ability to put themselves first, these kids have great negotiation skills which help demand higher salaries, and not conforming always draws them to the best option for themselves.

What's disobedient has changed over time. It's possible that some rebellious kids didn't reach success ethically. If they didn't apply themselves academically and were held back in school, it could've helped them to absorb the knowledge needed to apply to college.

Sometimes, additional focus helps figure out what we want for the future. If you have a resistant or stubborn child, don't fret. That same child may become a successful adult one day.

What if the rule-breaking class clown, surpassed you careerwise? If you're a parent to a rebellious child, do you now feel you should give them room to express themselves? Was the wild child yourself, and now you're a thriving adult? Let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
