Teaching Accountability and Responsibility

Children often question why they have to do chores, strive for better grades, or volunteer when their friends seem to have it easier. The podcast underscores the importance of instilling accountability and responsibility in children. Through examples from Marcus Aurelius' mother and references to the principle 'to whom much is given, much is expected,' the episode emphasizes the idea that with great blessings and potential comes the expectation to make the most of them.

Expectations and Accountability for Children's Potential

2min

“Your kids want to know why their friends don’t have to do chores. They want to know why you aren’t happy with middling grades. They want to know why you’re taking the trouble they got in so seriously. It’s not a big deal, they say.”

Ryan explains the importance of setting high expectations for your children, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

Marcus Aurelius’s character wasn’t an accident. He fought—to use his phrase—to be the person philosophy tried to make him, the person Rusticus and his mother and Antoninus tried to make him. That’s the story we tell in The Boy Who Would Be King and we’d love for you to check it out. And we have some great news—the ebook version of The Boy Who Would Be King is available on Amazon right now for $1.99. The promotion ends tomorrow night, so pick up a copy and share it with your kids while they’re at their most formative.
