November 10, 2020 Not Just to Read, but to Read Critically
"An illiterate world is not a good one, but a world where people unthinkingly believe and accept everything they read is not that much better.

So it’s great that you’re teaching your kids to read, but are you teaching them to read critically?"

Ryan describes the important next step you must take with your children's reading, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 09, 2020 They’re Listening. They Really Are.
"Like so many dads, Harbaugh kept repeating this ridiculous line because, who knows why, that’s just what dads do. Not once in the five hundred times he said it over the course of their childhood did it get a reaction. Not once. But he kept at it, because he thought maybe it would get through."

Find out the line, and how it stuck with Harbaugh's famous sons, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 06, 2020 You Have to Come Up With Challenges
"Of course, you want tough kids. You want boys who are active and resilient. You want girls who are active and resilient. You want them to be healthy, you want them to be able to overcome obstacles, you want them to know how to defend themselves, you want them to be prepared for the ups and downs of life. "

What's the best way to do that? By providing them with challenges, as Ryan explains on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 05, 2020 Don’t Ever, Ever Do This
"Cato the Elder, we’re told by Plutarch, “used to say that a man who beats his wife or a child is laying sacrilegious hands on the most sacred thing in the world.”

Boom. It doesn’t matter how angry you are. It doesn’t matter who started it. It doesn’t matter how many times you told your son. It doesn’t matter that your parents used to do it. It doesn’t matter that some cultures still accept it.

For two thousand years, we’ve known it: It’s wrong."

Ryan lays down the law on why corporal punishment is never okay on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 04, 2020 Who Are You Doing This For?
"It’s almost incomprehensible.

The parents were rich. They were powerful. Their kids had access to the best tutors in the world. The best schools. They were already connected. They already had a leg up in life.

So why did they risk everything—tax fraud, racketeering charges—to bribe their way into college?"

Ryan explains where your priorities in raising your children should lay on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 03, 2020 Only A Parent Understands
"The Spartan Agesilaus was the toughest of the tough. Like all Spartans, he had been trained in the agoge to be courageous and self-disciplined and beyond fear and pain. He was capable of incredible feats in battle and was in peak physical condition. As a Spartan king, he was all these things and more.
But he was also a father, and as you know, that changes you."

Ryan describes the changes that come from being a father on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

November 02, 2020 They Learn From Home
"You tell them to be good. To be honest. To follow the law. To care about other people. That safety comes first.
You say these things, but what do you show?"

Ryan explains why your good example is just as important as the words you utter on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

October 30, 2020 What If You Didn’t Think You Knew?
"You’re a dad, so you know a lot. You’ve been alive a while. You’ve read a thing or two and heard a thing or two. So when your kids ask you questions—about history, about life, about why people are this way or that way, you’re quick with an answer.

But what if this was actually a bad habit? What if this was a form of stupidity?"

Ryan describes why being the all-knowing father may not be the best role for you to fill, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

October 29, 2020 They Don’t Need to Worry About Anything But This
"F Scott Fitzgerald wasn’t always the best father, but as one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of his time, he certainly knew how to express fatherly advice perfectly in words. One of the best letters he ever wrote is to his daughter Frances while she was away at camp, where he discussed the anxieties and worries that all young people feel. Some things were worth worrying about, he said, and some weren’t. So he gave her a list."

Ryan talks about the list Fitzgerald sent to his daughter, and its timeless message for parents anywhere, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.

October 28, 2020 Let Them Hear It From You
"You can’t wait until you’re on your deathbed to let them know how you feel about them. You can’t wait until you’re dead and gone and they go through your stuff and find the news clippings you kept and finally see that you were proud of them. You can’t just hope they overhear you saying it to someone else. You can’t just assume they know."

Ryan tells us why we can't wait to tell our kids how we feel about them, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
