Your kids are learning just as much from your contradictions as they are from your advice. Award-winning journalist and author Tom Junod joins Ryan to talk about the complicated legacy of his father, what it really means to be a good man, and how we choose which lessons to pass on to our own kids.
They’d love to be there, but they can’t. They can’t make it. Well…they could turn it down, they just won’t.
They are full of surprises. They have endless needs. There is always something coming up…and it’s usually last-minute.
Teach them to give themselves a few seconds of courage. Tell them something great will come of it. Promise them.
