Deep dives
Your Kids Don't Need to Be Impressed
Your children may not necessarily be impressed or interested in your accomplishments or successes. While they look up to you and love you, they are more focused on their own new and exciting experiences. Even if you were an MVP or won a presidential election, they might still ask to watch TV after dinner. Instead of seeking admiration from them, it's important to celebrate their wins and be their biggest supporter.
Reconnect with Your Inner Child
Being a parent can bring back a sense of childhood joy. The speaker shares the simple pleasure of having Magic Spoon cereal with his wife as a nightly dessert. This cereal, which tastes like traditional sugary cereals but is healthy with no gluten, carbs, or sugar, symbolizes enjoying nostalgic experiences with your children. By embracing these moments, parents can relive the excitement of childhood while creating new memories with their kids.
“Of course, your kids love you. They look up to you. They imitate you. They want to be around you. At the same time, it seems like they could not be less impressed or less interested in us.”
Ryan uses a story from the Super-Bowl winning quarterback Phil Simms to illustrate why your kids won’t be your fans, but you should be their biggest one, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.
