Deep dives
The Importance of Parental Influence
Right now, your kids are always listening and observing your actions as a parent. Children are highly impressionable in their early years and quickly pick up lessons and habits. Just as seals leave their impression in soft wax, lessons leave a lasting impact on young minds. As children grow older, they become less open to learning and more set in their ways. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to take advantage of this critical time to teach good habits, explore new things, and instill valuable ideas.
Seizing the Moment
Parents must seize the present moment to teach and guide their children. This is an opportune time as kids are more receptive and adaptable. Waiting is not an option as children become less open to learning over time. By practicing good habits, reading good books, exploring new ideas, and making difficult choices now, parents can make the most of this window of opportunity and ensure their children receive the best guidance possible.
"Your kids are always listening, that’s true. They’ll always look to see what you’re doing and learn from you. Nell Painter learning from her mother’s career change late in life is proof of that.
But it’s also a fact that when they’re young, they’re much more impressionable. They can pick up languages earlier. They have fewer habits. They’ve seen less."
Ryan describes why you need to teach your kids now, while they're young, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
