Many mothers and fathers find it difficult to take on parental leadership because they raise their children in a needs-oriented way and reject authoritarian concepts. For the first time, the two parenting counsellors jointly show how loving leadership can be implemented in the family without punishment, threats and scolding, based on their new FüLi parenting. The foundations of their approach include non-violent communication, attachment theory and developmental psychological backgrounds, as well as their counselling and course experience with over 8,000 families.

Whether brushing teeth, getting dressed, dangerous situations in traffic or sibling quarrels - based on concrete everyday conflicts with children, parents learn to distinguish when more or less loving guidance is needed. Stotz&Weber describe how parents can confidently provide guidance and boundaries without inhibiting the child's free personality or autonomy development. The authors provide a wealth of concrete formulation aids and versatile strategies for action.
