leadership parenting

This is a beautiful and timely book. As we rebuild our lives after the isolation and confusion of the pandemic, it helps us reimagine the word empowerment in social and collaborative ways. It reminds us that leadership awareness begins at home and can be found in every child. As we draw it out of them, we find it in ourselves. Supported by Gopi Gita's own life experience as a mother and a teacher, and connected to wisdom truths from the East, this is a handbook you will come back to again and again.

Mother Gopi Gita will personally take you by the hand through every moment with your child, and guide you to bring out their highest potential. It's rare to find such classic bhakti parenting principles coupled with lifelong experiences in such an accessible format. I highly recommend it to all parents looking to step up their child's leadership skills.

In Mother Gopi Gita's Leadership Parenting we may have the first manual for raising children. It dives deeply into many ways children have been reared over the years and points out how these have affected our children's lives. We learn how positive reinforcement, without over indulgence or exaggerated praise, can move our children to be the best they can be. By finding the child's strengths and allowing them to express their inner natures allows them to take on the challenges the world sets before them.

The style how the book is presented, with the focus on the bhakti tradition, leads us through a wonderful journey. This ancient bhakti tradition is steeped in a loving process, where we not only flourish materially but also find our inner spiritual voice, which guides us to our ultimate goal of truly understanding our real self.

I hope you gain as much as I have from this book and share it's wisdom with whomever you can.

Leadership Parenting is a fun read. One feels as if Gopi Gita is sitting right there, chatting, sharing, and demonstrating her wide-ranging insight and decades of experience with the successful raising of children. The book is full of such a variety of wisdom and practical tools such that even incorporating just a few points in this book into your relationship with your children will add value to your life and theirs. Even if one is already very experienced and educated in how to raise children, there are so many gems in this book that every reader is likely to find something rare and useful to add to their knowledge and skills. Gopi gita is expert at taking all these gems and showing us how they form patterns for easy recall and application.
