This episode explores why parenting these children can be challenging, particularly when parents themselves were strong-willed children.

Guest Sonali Vongchusiri is an expert in parenting strong-willed children. She emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between allowing kids to express their autonomy while setting boundaries and providing guidance.
