Episode notes

This chapter explores the idea of parents needing to earn their children's pride rather than expecting their children to make them proud, emphasizing the importance of parental actions and choices in fostering respect and admiration from their children.

“We say it casually. We mean well. “Make me proud out there, kiddo,” we say as they trot out onto the soccer field. “Make your parents proud,” we say as they head off to college. And when they do great stuff, we reward them by letting them know that they have made us proud. We want this to motivate them. We use it, oftentimes unconsciously, to hold them accountable.”

Ryan explains why you should make this a priority in your life, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
