Episode notes

This chapter discusses the importance of teaching children how to learn and think critically instead of just memorizing facts. It challenges conventional methods of education that prioritize rote memorization and advocates for nurturing a deeper understanding of concepts.

“It’s time for us to review your multiplication tables, you tell them. Let’s look over your vocab flash cards. Or maybe you’re one of those parents that makes your kids recite poems or plays, that signs them up for performances. Maybe you’re drilling them for a spelling bee right now.”

Ryan discusses why the goal in teaching your children lessons should be to instill the knowledge in them, not just to get them to remember it, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
