Understanding the Perception of Time
As we age, our perception of time changes significantly. The podcast highlights how time seemed endless during different life stages, from high school to having children. The concept of time shifts as we accumulate experiences, with the same duration feeling shorter as we grow older. This change in perspective on time is crucial for parents to grasp and pass on to their children, helping them appreciate and make the most of every moment.
Value of Time and Passing on Knowledge
The podcast emphasizes the value of time as both essential and often mismanaged. Seneca's quote is referenced, stating that time is what we need the most yet waste the most. Parents are encouraged to instill in their children a healthy respect for time, guiding them to learn from past mistakes and not squander their moments. By sharing their experiences and perspectives on time, parents can help their children cherish every minute and live fully in the present.

Understanding and Appreciating Time as a Parent and Passing it On to Your Children
“Think about where you were fifteen years ago. Twenty. Just how long ago that was. Now think about your thoughts from fifteen years ago. Maybe that takes you back too far, but even that is illustrative: when we’re younger, we have a very limited conception of time… because we haven’t experienced much of it.”
Ryan explains why you should instill a genuine concept of time in your kids, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
