This chapter explores the importance of small gestures of love and vulnerability from children, drawing parallels to trust and vulnerability in humans and dogs. It highlights the honor and responsibility of parenthood and emphasizes the need to appreciate and cherish these gestures.
"They say that the reason people have long shaken hands with their right hands was to signal that we came in peace and we’re not dangerous. They say that when dogs roll over and show you their belly, it’s an indication of trust and deliberate vulnerability... These might not feel like particularly meaningful gestures of respect and love, but they are. It’s an honor to get them, even though we regularly overlook the significance. The same is true with so many things that our kids do."
Ryan discusses the joy of getting close with your kids on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
