Episode notes

This chapter emphasizes the crucial role parents play in their children's reading habits and shares the story of Margaret Thatcher's father, who took an active interest in her reading by discussing books, recommending literature, and signing her up for political publications.

"When Margaret Thatcher was in school as a young girl, she was assigned books like we all were. Some were boring. Some were exciting. Some were strange.

But without fail, her father—with barely a high school education himself—took interest. He wanted to discuss what she was reading. He wanted to read them with her."

Learn about the impact that this simple gesture can have on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
