Episode notes

This chapter emphasizes the importance of never resorting to abuse or hurtful words towards loved ones, highlighting the irreversible damage it can cause to the sacredness of the family role.

"Cato the Elder, we’re told by Plutarch, “used to say that a man who beats his wife or a child is laying sacrilegious hands on the most sacred thing in the world.”

Boom. It doesn’t matter how angry you are. It doesn’t matter who started it. It doesn’t matter how many times you told your son. It doesn’t matter that your parents used to do it. It doesn’t matter that some cultures still accept it.

Ryan lays down the law on why corporal punishment is never okay on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
