Episode #188: Helpful Equations To Connect with and Support Kids: An interview with Sonali Vongchusiri
All of us have the same values, these are to be seen, heard, understood and to be appreciated and know we belong. What are your needs? How much time do you give to look after you? Do you find you give so much to your kids, that you find yourself overwhelmed when you try to connect?In this episode Janine and Sonali speak about:What does it mean to be a highly sensitive parentHow to enjoy your relationship with your kidsHow to think about what your needs are and how to bring them alongside your kids needsSonali’s Connection EquationsWhat Sonali does to rest and relaxAbout The Guest - Sonali VongchusiriSonali is a highly-sensitive mom, with three deeply-feeling and strong-willed kids. It took a whole lot of time to see that just because her kids didn't respond to parenting methods the way experts said they would, and just because her family didn't fit society's ideal of a "perfect family," she wasn't a bad mom and she wasn't raising spoiled, snowflake kids. In fact, now she knows for sure, that they rock!So she’s your sensitivity, needs and regulation go-to-gal. And, she also happens to be legally blind and have albinism. When she finally realized she didn’t need to “fit in” to “belong”, it gave her permission to find her own way. And now she supports others in doing the same.Her work is dedicated to sharing with parents how it's possible to have fun with sensitive kids and to raise them to be kind and compassionate. Because she gets it - both from being THAT kid, and from having THOSE kids.Website: www.forwardtogetherparenting.comFacebook Group Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingyourstrongwilledchildSonali is offering a free gift called “The Parent's Guide to Tackling Tech Troubles” available at: www.forwardtogetherparenting.com/tech_resourceDiscover what your child needs to come off technology the first time you ask them toUnlock why “the negotiator” child relentlessly asks for MORE and how you can eliminate incessant asking and energy consuming discussions.Transform your perspective on what’s going on with the battles around tech and uncover a new healthy relationship with tech for your child that will support them into adulthood About The Host - Janine HalloranJanine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.
