Deep dives

Raising tough kids with understanding and respect

Being a tough parent does not mean inflicting pain on children, but rather teaching them lovingly, patiently, and understandably to grow past their limits. Just as the great Chesty Puller worked with his son, who was sensitive and not naturally athletic, tough parents must recognize that every child is different and has unique needs. It is important to respect and appreciate each child's strengths and weaknesses while creating challenges that help them develop into their own special selves. Parents should be their children's ally, working for their growth and not against them.

"As we’ve talked about, you have to toughen your kids up. No one is well-served by parents who are soft, who let them be soft.

But at the same time, many a tough parent has had to come to terms with the fact that every kid is different and needs different things."

Ryan explains the best way to challenge your kids on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
