C types difficult as children

I'm wondering if anyone can elaborate on C (as in Creative rather than N, D or H) types experience in real life and in children. I believe I am C as is my son, I believe my mother was too. From my nan, mum and me each of our children was difficult when it comes to doing something like buying a pair of shoes, nearly an impossible task. I am wondering if there is a link here, like C types want to choose for themselves everything all the time, find it difficult to just follow others advice or even the culture around them, need to interpret it though their own eyes, and if they have not completed that are not satisfied and refuse to make as decision or something. Also as children that kind of hyper focus on their interests while easily blocking out other information seems a bit similar to what some gifted children do, not saying any of us were gifted, just some similar challenges. Perhaps this and other things carry over into adulthood. Has anyone had similar experiences or observations.

Also how to help and facilitate C types, as other C types approach usually just clashes or makes it worse?
