Show Notes: Parenting Your Strong-Willed Child
Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #150 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
Before we kick off today’s episode, have you joined the challenge? Summer flew by, we are hot and heavy into the final quarter of the year, work schedules are crazy, activities are in full swing, and those candy pumpkins are front and center at your favorite Target. The holidays are looming.
Do you feel like you might have to throw in the towel on your biggest goals this year? What if instead of “there are only two months left” you thought “I still have two whole months, over 60 days, enough time to build a habit!”
Because here is what I think. This will be the year you reach those goals and end your year fist pumping in the air. This will be the year you learn to stretch time so that you not only have time for the things you want to do, but the white space to know the difference, and even the extra time for all those holiday cookie parties. This challenge will help you get out of your own way to make those someday goals 2023 goals with a real plan.
Join us for the How to Actually Hit Your 2023 Goals This Year 4-Day Challenge. Sign up at secretsofsupermom.com/goals!
Sonali Vongchusiri joins us today on the show from Bangkok, Thailand. I met Sonali when I joined her for her annual summit specifically about raising strong-willed children. I am excited to have her on the show today to dive more into parenting children with strong personalities.
She is a parent coach, founder of Forward Together Parenting and the “Raising Your Strong-Willed Child” series. She often says that she was that kid and now she has three of those kids. She supports parents in shifting from “parenting perfectly” to “parenting with personality”.

About Our Guest: Sonali Vongchusiri
Sonali Vongchusiri is a parent coach, founder of Forward Together Parenting and the “Raising Your Strong-Willed Child” series. She often says that she was that kid and now she has three of those kids.
She supports parents in shifting from “parenting perfectly” to “parenting with personality”. Parents can step off the emotional roller-coaster with their child, simplify parenting and stabilize their relationship with their child by uncovering and meeting both their child’s core needs and their own.
Sonali lives in Bangkok. She’s originally from the US and is of Indian origin. She has albinism, which means she has no pigment in my skin, hair, or eyes. What that makes her is clear. She sees people in ways they don’t see themselves.
AND…she’s proof that it’s possible to repair just about any break in relationship with your child.
