  • Don't Miss The Reminders

    “Every time you pick them up to trim their nails. Every time you take them to get their haircut. Every time you have to take a load of clothes to Goodwill or to a friend’s house. Every time you have to buy them a new pair of socks or shoes, be sure to take a moment to take notice.”

    Ryan discusses how important the little things are and why they remind you of what matters most, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Is It Really As Bad As You Say?

    “There is a type of parent who is constantly worried about their kids. They’re worried that the teacher isn’t giving their daughter enough attention. They’re worried that their son is falling behind. They fight and claw for every advantage...and resist every possible disadvantage with equal ferocity. More than anything, they want their kids to “succeed”—and they will not let anything get in the way of that.”

    Ryan rationalizes the worry and nervousness that comes with raising kids in a system that is largely out of your control, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Where Do They Learn To Judge?

    “You didn’t mean anything by it. It was a comment under your breath about your brother’s spending habits. It was a joke about a celebrity’s weight. It was a complaint about the way your neighbor parks in their driveway. It was the conversation between you and your spouse over dinner, about what’s wrong with the other side, about them.”

    Ryan discusses how much of an impact what you say has on your kids, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • This Makes It Harder

    “You got frustrated. Because they were being annoying. Because you already told them. Because they know they’re not supposed to hurt their brother like that.”

    Ryan explains why the best place to be is in the present moment, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Always Think About Why

    “It’s not easy to do when they’re hitting or biting or waking up ten times a night. When they’re failing classes they’re more than capable of passing. When they get caught sneaking out. When they’re acting like a jerk.”

    Ryan explains that there’s usually a reason behind everything your kids do, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • What We Do Ripples Through

    “In the beautiful children’s book, Each Kindness, Jacqueline Woodson tells the story of a young girl named Chloe who, in the casual way that kids often do, treats a classmate cruelly. She is moved to change one day when her teacher demonstrates the way that water ripples when a stone is dropped in it.”

    Ryan explains why your actions impact what your children do, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • They Can't Understand

    “Look, there’s just no way your kids can understand. It’s impossible for a person that young, that free of responsibilities, to comprehend what it feels like to be a parent—to have your heart running around outside your body.”

    Ryan explains why you have to take on the burden of concern, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • You Need To Take This Time

    “Certainly, someone would have needed him for something. His wife, one of his thirteen kids, a courtier, the pressing business of state. But for a few minutes to an hour—sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening—Marcus Aurelius was unreachable. This was too important.”

    Ryan explains why you must take your time seriously, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Don't Despair, Just Wait

    “Your kids can drive you nuts. They’re crazy. They’re struggling. They can be ungrateful. They can test and frustrate you like nothing else. But before you complain or despair...”
