Encouraging Shared Enjoyment of Classics and Timeless Treasures
It is essential to share classic rock, films, and other timeless treasures with your kids to bond over what is considered great and timeless. While it's crucial to expose them to quality content, it's also important to understand that their tastes may differ from yours and embrace their enjoyment of different kinds of media. Lars Ulrich's experience with Pixar movies illustrates the difference in tastes between parents and kids, showing the need to appreciate their enjoyment even if it differs from your own.
Understanding and Nurturing Developing Tastes in Children
As children grow, their tastes evolve, and they might not appreciate the same quality or nuances in media as adults do. Parents should be patient and allow their children to enjoy what they like without judgement, even if it seems mediocre to the parent's refined taste. A.O. Scott's experience highlights the shift in perspective as children grow older, becoming more critical and discerning in their preferences. Ultimately, parents should recognize that children's tastes will mature over time, just as theirs did in comparison to their parents' preferences.
“We’ve talked before about enjoying the classics with your kids. Not necessarily ‘the classics’ in the ancient Greek literature sense, but classic rock, classic films. You know, the all time greats.”
Ryan explains how your children will grow up to reflect the taste that you give them, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
