Quick takeaways

Parenting does not have a fixed set of answers or guidelines and requires fathers to figure it out as they go.

Fathers must take ownership and actively navigate the unique circumstances and needs of their children in their parenting journey.

Deep dives

The absence of a clear answer in parenting

Parenting is a realm filled with numerous questions and uncertainties. There is no definitive answer for what age is appropriate for screen time or getting the first phone, whether to allow sugar and processed foods, or if kids should receive an allowance. With an endless stream of questions from various sources, there is no central authority with all the answers. Similar to Allen Ginsburg's realization on his journey as a poet, fathers must come to terms with the fact that there is no 'party line' in parenting. Each situation and each child is different, requiring fathers to figure it out as they go.

"Should you let your kids have screen time when they’re younger? How young is too young to give them their first phone? What about sugar and processed foods? Should they get an allowance? Should you make them get a job? Do they have to clean up after themselves or can the parents help? Should they do their own laundry?"

Find out the right answer—that there is no "right answer"—on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
