Deep dives
Cultivating Empathy and Compassion
Understanding that children have underlying reasons for their behaviors, such as tiredness or hunger, leads to responding with empathy and compassion. By not taking their actions personally, but rather focusing on problem-solving, parents can guide and forgive them instead of reacting with anger. Applying this approach to interactions with others by investigating before judging, offering help, and showing understanding can lead to increased happiness and a better world.
Benefit of the Doubt and Support
Recognizing that everyone, including ourselves, is facing struggles similar to children grappling with the unknown, encourages giving each other the benefit of the doubt. Responding with support and pity instead of quick conclusions and anger can foster a happier environment for all. By extending empathy and understanding to others, the podcast emphasizes creating a more compassionate and understanding world.
“You know that your kids are monsters when they’re tired. You know they don’t make good decisions when they’re hungry. You know that they have emotions and urges and drives operating inside them that they don’t understand. Hormones, ignorance, fear, energy they can’t control.”
Ryan explains why we should treat everyone with the same level of respect, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
