This chapter discusses the importance of being mindful of your behavior as a parent and how it can influence your children's actions. It suggests self-reflection and correction through asking your children about behaviors they have seen you exhibit that you disapprove of.
"Your daughter gets mad, so she slams the door and screams. Your son makes himself a snack and leaves the kitchen a disaster for someone else to clean up. You hear them say something rude to a waiter. You see them write something offensive on social media.
Before you get mad yourself, before you condemn, just take them aside. Ask them, kindly, openly, a question that the strongman Mark Bell says he always asks his teenage kids: 'Hey, when have you seen me do that?'"
Ryan explains the merits of finding out the source of your kids' misbehavior on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
