This Is the Enemy of Good Parenting
from The Daily Dad
"There are so many sad examples: The father who can’t bear to be contradicted. The parents who refuse to admit when they are wrong. The mom who spends all her energy trying to impress other people. The father who is jealous of his own son, or threatened by the attention his daughter gets. All these parental failings—and make no mistake, they are failings—share a root cause: Ego."Ryan describes the pitfalls of ego, and how you can avoid them, in today's Daily Dad Podcast.***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
