Why Are You Rushing This? Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

“Bedtime can be stressful when you’re convinced it has to happen by a certain time. The evening walk becomes less fun because you keep telling them to hurry up. Dinner becomes less satisfying because there’s less time to taste the food. In fact, from a kid’s perspective, speeding things along starts to feel like it’s the most important thing in the world to us.”

Ryan explains why you should run towards life not away from it, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

Is It Nature or Nurture? Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

“How much of this is nature and how much is nurture? Nobody really has a great answer to that question. What we know for certain, though, is that the debate as a whole is a waste of time. Because if it was only nature, there’d be no reason for any of us to do anything or even ponder how we can make our kids’ lives better.”

Ryan explains the difference between what is natural and what is learned, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

What Are You Even Fighting About? Jun 10, 2021

“There is no family immune to conflict. Whether it’s about shoes left out or tattoos or politics, families fight. Siblings argue. Parents punish rule breaking...kids rebel. Spouses disagree, fail to communicate, and struggle under stress.”

You Must Adjust Accordingly Jun 09, 2021

“It doesn’t matter how old you are, you grew up in a society and a culture that was less inclusive and less diverse than the one we’re in now. Certainly one that was less sensitive too.”

This is What You Wanted Jun 08, 2021
