  Episode #188: Helpful Equations To Connect with and Support Kids: An interview with Sonali Vongchusiri

  Dec 11, 202534 minS1

  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 parent How to enjoy your relationship with your kids How to think about what your needs are and how to bring them alongside your kids needs Sonali’s Connection Equations What Sonali does to rest and relax About The Guest - Sonali Vongchusiri Sonali 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.

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 Halloran Janine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.
