Episode notes

This chapter explores the detrimental effects of rushing through parenting tasks, highlighting the significance of being present and savoring moments with children. It urges self-reflection on the reasons behind rushing and the missed opportunities for meaningful interactions.

“Bedtime can be stressful when you’re convinced it has to happen by a certain time. The evening walk becomes less fun because you keep telling them to hurry up. Dinner becomes less satisfying because there’s less time to taste the food. In fact, from a kid’s perspective, speeding things along starts to feel like it’s the most important thing in the world to us.”

Ryan explains why you should run towards life not away from it, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
