The Value of Experience and Wisdom
As a dad, you possess a wealth of experience and wisdom that your children can benefit from. Regardless of their age, you have lived longer and been through more than they have. Now, during challenging times, it is crucial to draw upon that wisdom and use your authority to guide and support your children. Whether it's offering reassurance, sharing personal stories, or providing recommendations and admonishments, your acquired wisdom is invaluable and can help your children navigate unfamiliar and stressful situations.
The Role of Dads as Guides and Mentors
Dads have always played a significant role in their children's lives as guides and mentors. Just as you relied on your dad for help and advice in various situations, your children need your guidance as well. Regardless of their age, they require nudges, reassurance, perspectives, and a sense of direction. Your words and experiences can help them understand that everyone makes mistakes, and you have the knowledge to help them navigate life's challenges. Your authority and experience bring value to your role as a dad and make a difference in your children's lives.
"It doesn’t matter how old you are or how old your kids are. You have more experience than them. In some cases, that’s a couple decades. In other cases, it’s many decades. But whatever the age difference is between you and your kids, you’ve lived longer and been through more."
What to do with all that hard-won experience? Ryan explains in today's Daily Dad podcast.
