The chapter highlights the significance of engaging with your children when they seek your attention, to foster strong relationships and communication. It also touches on the book 'The Boy Who Would Be King' and draws parallels to Marcus Aurelius' leadership qualities.
“They’re only going to ask you so many times: to get in the pool with them, to sit next to them, to help with their homework, to talk about the problem they’re having. No, not because you only get a certain number of summers and car rides and moments with your kids, like we’ve talked about. They’re only going to ask you so many times, because at some point they’re going to get the message.”
Ryan talks about why the urgency of the present should encourage you to be better to your kids, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
The Boy Who Would Be King is out now, written by Ryan Holiday in the depths of the pandemic (not unlike the one Marcus ruled through), this new beautifully crafted book is available now. Go to dailystoic.com/king to order now and you’ll automatically get the free audiobook.
