Show notes

“Every parent wants to be respected. They want to be listened to. They want their advice to be taken seriously. They want to be looked up to. And how do far too many of us try to get these things from our kids? By endless words. By force. By fear. By simply assuming it’s ours by right.”

They Don’t Know Your Battles Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

“The story of Major Taylor is an inspiring one...and a tragic one. Major Taylor was the greatest cyclist of his generation, perhaps one of the great athletes to ever live. The only problem was that he was born in 1878 and he was born black in America.”

Ryan illustrates why you should always be open with your children by telling the story of Major Taylor, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

Teach Them To Think and Evaluate Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

“Plutarch tells us the story of a Spartan leader: "As he reclined after his meal the Eiren would tell one boy to sing, while to another he would pose a question which called for a considered reply, like "Who among the men is best?' or 'What is your opinion of so-and -so's action?' Thereby boys grew accustomed to judging excellence and to making a critical appraisal of the citizens right from the start.”

Ryan discusses how you should mold your kids minds to question and review, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

It’s Usually Not an Accident Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

“Florence Nightingale was an incredible woman. She revolutionized nursing. She saved thousands and thousands of lives. This came as a surprise in Victorian England because women weren’t supposed to do career-type things, let alone something as hands on as work in a hospital. Her spirit and her determination came as a surprise to her parents too, as we’ve talked about, who thought their wealth and status, should have bestowed on their daughter a quiet dignity and taste for the finer things.”

Ryan explains why you should be careful with who you expose your kids to, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

Be Careful of Your Implications Mar 29, 2021
