Are You Leading Your Kids or Just Bossing Them Around? The Dad Edge Blueprint for True Leadership
Ever feel like you're constantly telling your kids what to do, but it's just not sticking? What if there's a more effective way to guide them, one that fosters trust and connection instead of resentment? Today, Larry Hagner dives deep into the heart of true fatherly leadership.
Drawing from powerful training and timeless wisdom shared within The Dad Edge Alliance, Larry unpacks the critical differences between authoritarian parenting (control and commands) and authoritative parenting (clarity, empathy, and presence). He shares real-life stories from dads who are transforming their families by actively listening to their kids, setting consistent boundaries with understanding, and, most importantly, modeling the very behaviors they want to see.
