Episode notes

The story of Henry Cartier-Brenson, a curious student who was given the opportunity to pursue his interests by a kind principal, highlighting the significance of supporting children's curiosity.

"We have to remember that our job as parents, as educators, is not to keep our kids in line. It’s not to crush their initiative because it’s disruptive or uncomfortable or difficult for us. We have to encourage them. We have to make space for our kids. If they want to read? By god, let them! If they want to skip ahead, or deviate from the conventional path? Cheer them on!"

Using the childhood experience of the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ryan shows how important it is to foster our kids' love of books on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
