You Don’t Even Realize How Much You Say It

So why on earth do we so often signal the opposite? Literally and figuratively, we send the message that they’re bothering us, that they’re a distraction, a burden, annoying. As Evelyn McDonnell writes in her fascinating book The World According to Joan Didion , Didion’s daughter Quintana Roo once wrote down a list of her mother’s sayings. They were: “Brush your teeth,” “Brush your hair,” and “Shush, I'm working.” Only later do we realize what we’re saying to them—as Didion did tragically in her...

Learning is Frustrating

Being a kid is tough. It’s tough because they’re learning— often by painful trial and error —an endless number of lessons about life. What they’re allowed to do and not. What happens when you touch something hot. How other people act . What feels good and what doesn’t. Plus they’re also in school learning academic knowledge too—math and science and reading and history. Well, here’s a piece of advice from the great Dr. Becky (from her amazing book Good Inside ) that we can translate to our kids, ...

You’re Not Trying To Raise Well-Behaved Kids

We have so many things we need to do as parents. There’s the logistics of it. The survival aspect of it (food and shelter). There’s the education we have to give them . There’s the experiences we want them to have. There’s the values and character we know need to be instilled . We’re not trying to raise well-behaved kids. **As we’ve said before, we’re not trying to raise kids at all. The whole point of parenting is to raise our kids into adults, it’s trying to raise these little people into good...

A Much Better Way To Motivate

It’s important that we look for examples of people who have done great things as a result of their parent’s ability to believe in them, support them, and make them feel secure. We’ve talked about Jim Valvano many times here and tell the story in Daily Dad about how his dad packed his bags and told his son he was ready to watch him coach in the Final Four. We posted a great video of the comedian Andrew Schultz recently. Andrew told his father that his dream was to perform at Madison Square Garden...

Tackle This First

“Connection first,” is Dr. Becky’s advice in Good Inside . Connection as opposed to shame, to criticism, to questions, to doubt, to consequences. There will be time for all that (except shame) later. “Now, to be clear,” Dr. Becky writes, “connection does not mean approval…Connection is an opening that allows for movement. Connection is when we show our kids, ‘It’s okay to be you right now. Even when you’re struggling, it’s okay to be you. I am here with you, as you are.’” Let’s start by slowing ...
