Transcend this Bitter Math Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

“We know our parents sacrificed for us. That’s what history is...people giving stuff up for future generations, whether it’s crossing lonely oceans or fighting in wars or, as it was in the old days, enduring painful, suffocating relationships and stultifying gender roles.”

Ryan explains why you should be careful about how you view the relationship with your children, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

They’re Only Going To Ask You So Many Times Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

“They’re only going to ask you so many times: to get in the pool with them, to sit next to them, to help with their homework, to talk about the problem they’re having. No, not because you only get a certain number of summers and car rides and moments with your kids, like we’ve talked about. They’re only going to ask you so many times, because at some point they’re going to get the message.”

Ryan talks about why the urgency of the present should encourage you to be better to your kids, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

What’s More Important? Mar 10, 2021

Ryan explains why you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff, cause it’s not what really matters, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

You Must Raise and Educate Them the Same Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

“Are there differences between boys and girls? Of course. Anyone that tells you differently either isn’t a parent or they have some agenda that’s blinding them. There are sex differences in every other animal that ever existed. Humans are no exception.”

Ryan explains why there is no difference in raising different genders, the point is to raise them to be great, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.

This Is All an Invention Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

“This didn’t used to exist you know. Kids had it way harder before. Not just a hundred-plus years ago when they were valued most for their labor on the farm, but back further still—kids got married when they were still kids, they were exposed to the horrors of the world when they were still kids, they were forced to fight and fend for themselves while they were still kids.”

Ryan explains how childhood was made up, and why it’s your job to protect it for your children, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.

“In Plato’s Phaedrus, Socrates tells the story of the god Theuth approaching the King of Egypt, hardly able to contain his excitement about sharing his latest and greatest invention: an innovative technology he called “writing.” The King was enthusiastically opposed.”
