It's our job to show our kids that they have the power to instigate change within themselves and their communities, regardless of external circumstances. Sharon McMahon, author of The Small and the Mighty, talks with Ryan about how parents can instill hope in their kids and show them that making a difference is accessible. 

Sharon is known as “America’s Government Teacher,” and after years as a high school government teacher, Sharon now runs the non-partisan, fact-based Instagram account @sharonsaysso.  Sharon just released her book, The Small and the Mighty, where she proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks.

📚 You can grab signed copies of The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon at The Painted Porch.

As a parent, all we control is what we teach our kids, what we do for and with them.

We can’t just throw up our hands and say, “I’m busy, I can’t deal with this.” Because not only is that not fair to our children, it’s not fair to us.

Our job as parents is to help our kids “become who they are.” This is true, but our job is also to expand who they are.

Walks are parenting magic. Seneca said that the mind must be given over to wandering walks, and so too must you and your kids.

If you want generous kids, you have to show them what a generous parent is. There is no better time than the holiday season to do this.

Every Thanksgiving, we encourage our listeners to join us in making a donation to Feeding America. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. We donated the first $30,000, and we’d like your help in reaching our goal of $300,000. If we hit that goal of $300,000, it would provide over 3 MILLION meals for families across the country. 

Just head over to dailystoic.com/feed and together we can make a significant dent in a big problem. As Seneca reminds us, intention and attitude are central aspects in giving. Your donations show those in need that someone else cares, that someone else is by their side—just like the loved ones around your dinner table who have been by your side over the years.
