Appreciating the Moments with Children
Amidst a challenging year marked by lockdowns and various crises, being a parent offers a unique perspective. While many may remember 2020 for its hardships, parents with young children cherish moments like their child's first steps or spending quality time with family. Parenthood brings a blend of worries and joys, providing a powerful anchor that grounds individuals in the present and helps navigate life's ups and downs.
Parental Focus and Strength
Regardless of external circumstances, parents have a constant source of strength and purpose in their children. Whether celebrating victories or facing setbacks, the presence of children enables parents to refocus, find resilience, and experience the profound connection of familial love. Parenting serves as a grounding force that allows individuals to appreciate both the ordinary and extraordinary moments in life.

Reflections on Parenthood and Finding Joy in the Present Moment
“The last twelve months have been rough. They were defined by lockdowns and job losses and masks and wildfires and protests. But what about someone with a one-year-old?

Ryan explains why your children should be your most prized possession, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
