The Daily Dad episodes

February 07, 2023 It's Still Hard For Them
The good thing is that our kids are smarter and more resilient than we think. With time, they’ll come to understand that hey, we struggled with our issues too as parents, as adults. The fact that we weren’t always there or perfect? Hopefully they’ll realize and come to accept that it wasn’t because we didn’t love them.
It was because we’re human! Just like them.

February 06, 2023 So Little Is Left Over
Even when our kids get up early, we have, at most, a couple hours with them before school and work. Then after school or sports and work, we have what, maybe a couple more hours? Soon enough they’re asleep. It’s pretty sad when you think about it…which is probably why we don’t think about it.

So little time is left for us. Don’t waste it. Seize it.

February 04, 2023 Daily Dad And Scott Hershovitz On Being A Model Parent
On this weekend episode of the Daily Dad, Ryan sits down with Scott Hershovitz to discuss how we can become model parents. Rather than getting angry with our kids for acting out we can identify where our kids learn this behavior or why they're behaving in such a disruptive manner, ultimately this leads to our kids teaching us a lot about ourselves.

February 03, 2023 This Is All That Matters
We need to deliberately let all the craziness and mundane tasks of life to fall away. Because all of those things that we allow to stick around, even if just in the background or further down the list, will inevitably steal from those few things we care about most.

February 02, 2023 They Already Doubt Themselves Enough
It’s not that you don’t think they’re great or talented. You’re a big fan. You always have been. You know they can do it. You just worry. You just want them to be safe. You just want them to find what is actually best for them.

Maybe they can make it. Maybe they can’t. All we can say for certain is that they’ll never know for sure if we don’t let them figure it out for themselves and support them along the way.

February 01, 2023 Be More Than A Hero
From the outside, we can admire people. We can acknowledge and be inspired by their heroism, but we must still strive to learn from their failure to be great and be more than a good parent at the same time.

January 31, 2023 You're Stretched To A New Capactity
There’s no question that becoming a parent has stretched you beyond limits you ever thought possible. You are busier now than you ever were in your life. You manage to survive on less sleep than you ever thought humanly possible. You have been stressed, worried, upset in new ways and to new heights.

Your kids have given you so much. They have quite nearly given you a heart attack on many occasions…but they compensate for this by giving you a much bigger heart. They stretch you, they expand you, they make you better.

January 30, 2023 How Have We Gotten So Far From This?
Remember: A little fellow follows you. Your kids are always watching. They’re the ones you should want to impress. They’re the ones you should never want to let down. They’re the ones you’re not only fighting for, but whose standards—whose natural admiration and love—you should always be fighting to live up to.
They are the only ones whose opinions matter.

January 27, 2023 It's A Lie And An Excuse
A little fellow follows you, remember that. The decision to shut down emotionally doesn’t just impact you. The decision to overcommit. The decision to be gone. The decision to hold onto resentments. The decision not to take care of yourself. The decision to hold them to unfair standards, to belittle or to be mean.
All of this matters. It matters more than anything.
