Giving Time - Teaching Skills for Life

Strong willed daughter

My 6 yr. old daughter is extremely strong willed. She argues every point to death and has a "but" for everything. She constantly corrects everyone (even if they're not wrong). Currently, she's in the middle of a playdate with another strong willed child and I am about to tear my hair out. I just had a showdown with her in front of the other girl, trying to force her to share her dress up stuff (a real parenting low, as of course no one wins in those situations.)
How do I stop my daughter from arguing so much, while still respecting her conviction that she needs to have her say. She's an only child.
