You Gotta Give Them Access Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

"We want to make sure our kids have opportunities in life. We want to make sure that they’re not excluded or kept out. We work hard—try to make money, try to invest, try to get ahead in our careers and life so our kids can have a head start. All good. But sometimes, for all this hustle and ambition, we neglect one of the easiest ways to help them get ahead."
Ryan describes how to give your kids a head start in learning about life in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

Try Not to Give Them Anything Extra Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

"We all have issues. We know that. Our goal as fathers, as we’ve said, is to not pass them on. To stop the cycle of dysfunction. It’s a low bar, to be sure, but it's an important one: Don’t let the demons you wrestle with find softer targets in your children."
Ryan describes how important it is not to burden your children with your baggage on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

Look for the Double Opportunity Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

"The jogging stroller lets you exercise… while spending time with your kid. The drive to school, or to soccer tournaments… is a chance to have that conversation you needed to have with your daughter. All the chores that need to be done around the house...they’re a way to teach your kids about responsibility."
Ryan discusses how you can find unexpected places to impart lessons to your child in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

This Could Be That Day Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

"It was just another day on vacation for the Roosevelts in 1921. FDR spent the morning sailing around Campobello Island with Eleanor and his two older boys. They’d had quite an adventure. Seeing a small fire on another nearby island, they rushed and put it out as a family. When they got back, FDR and his sons raced each more than a mile to a swimming hole. And then later they jumped into the Bay of Fundy together."
Find out the consequences of that swim, and what they mean for you and your family, in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

Remember the True Value of an Education Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

"You send them to great schools. You make sure they do their homework. You drill them on their flashcards. You are saving for college. You are not going to let them set their sights low like you did, or maybe you won’t accept them getting into anywhere less prestigious than you did."
But that's not the only kind of education that matters. Find out more in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

They Deserve to Be Sheltered (Somewhat!) Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

"How much should we shelter our kids from the scariness of the world? How much should we protect them from knowing about the day-to-day events of the world that they are not to blame for, that they can’t do anything about?"
Ryan discusses what we need to do to keep our kids appropriately informed and protected, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

Don’t Teach Them What to Think, Teach Them How Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

"It’s tempting to tell them exactly what they can and can’t do. It’s tempting to tell them what you expect them to do, or explain how the world works. But would you have listened to that when you were their age? What did you do when your parents pretended like they knew what they were talking about?"
Ryan talks about the best way to teach your kids the important lessons that you have for them on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

You Are Being Reminded Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

"It’s been a rough couple weeks. You watched your retirement accounts lose as much as 30% of their value. You’re watching businesses disappear left and right. Maybe you’re stuck at home. Maybe you have to show up to work every day, with a flutter of fear in your heart, because you have one of those 'essential' jobs. Your kids are at home—school is canceled. You’re going through groceries like crazy. You’ve never used more toilet paper. And the news is bad, bad, bad, every single day."
There's a silver lining to all this chaos—as Ryan explains in today's Daily Dad Podcast.
