The Superpower of Loving Leadership

The Superpower of Loving Leadership

Giving children orientation, freedom, and boundaries

Bringing up their children in a needs-oriented way and rejecting authoritarian concepts, many mothers and fathers find it difficult to fulfil the parental leadership role. In their first jointly-authored book, two leading parenting consultants show how their new concept of Loving Leadership can be implemented in the family while avoiding punishment, threats, and anger. The foundations of their approach include non-violent communication, attachment theory, and aspects of developmental psychology, as well as their experience as counselors and course leaders for over 8000 families.
Whether it’s a question of brushing teeth, getting dressed, staying safe in traffic, or sibling rivalry—drawing on concrete everyday situations experienced by children, parents can learn when to offer loving guidance and when to step back. Stotz and Weber describe how parents can confidently provide guidance and boundaries without inhibiting the free development of the child’s personality or autonomy. The authors provide a wealth of concrete phrases, approaches, and versatile strategies for action.
