February 08, 2021 We’re Doing It Wrong
“When you think of your own school days, what do you think of? What do the days at school of your own children look like? Certainly, very different from what school was ever intended or imagined to be. The root word of school—scholé—in Greek refers to the idea of leisure. It’s supposed to be a place of reflection.”
Ryan discusses how we’ve distorted the nature of children's education throughout the years, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

February 04, 2021 Prepare Them Now. While You Can.
“Life is easy now. We should just let them enjoy it right? Before they have to work for a living. Before they have to care about what’s going on in the world. While they can do whatever they want, while they can get away with eating whatever they want, and all the innocent freedoms that children are blessed with.”
Ryan discusses why you should be sure that your kids are ready for the harsh reality of the world, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

February 02, 2021 Give Them This Stuff

February 01, 2021 The Right Thing Is Not So Simple Anymore
“When you were younger, you were brash. You didn’t take crap. You didn’t keep quiet. If you disagreed, or didn’t like something, you said something. We hated hypocrites. We shook our head at the compromises that we saw older people make. We laughed at them for the way they settled. We were angry with our parents for their political and social beliefs. We were idealistic. They were conservative. It drove us nuts.”
Ryan explains why you must learn to balance your ambition with your role as a parent, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
