Hi Palak, I need a more detailed description of the problem before I can make any suggestions. But, you could start by asking yourself some questions. Try to answer them as honestly as possible and maybe as you start answering them you'll also come up with the solution!
Since when did this stubbornness start? Try to think of the occassions when he has been stubborn...what triggered them, what are the things he refuses to do, etc?
Mostly, childern get stubborn when they feel insecure, unloved. Are you going through any tension at home, does the child feel stressed out in school, etc?
Is your child playing enough, does he have friends, do you or your husband play with him/give him ample attention and encouragement?
Regarding your mom...does she genuinely enjoy the child's presence, does she feel stressed out with him, what are the activities she engages him with, etc. Also, have you tried explaining her in detail how giving in to all your child's demands is actually harmful for him. What exactly makes her do it?
I'd suggest you take one step at a time. Solve the stubbornness problem first, studies can follow. Hope this helps. thanks soma
