Welcome to the Daily Stoke. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

How to raise your kids like Senika did. Though we know nearly nothing about Senika's family life or how his children turned out or how many he had, we know at least that he gave good advice.

We know that as a wealthy, powerful, famous man, the deck was stacked against him. These are corrosive, corrupting influences, particularly on children. Yet it was clearly quite important to Senika to raise a normal kid and to encourage everyone else to do the same.

Here is some advice from Senika on parenting. He said we should spur our children to conceive great things of themselves that also curb them from arrogance.

We should let them enjoy the comforts of wealth without indulging their every whim. We have to show them how to get up when they fall and we can't pick them right up.

We must instruct them, not just punish them. We must praise them but not do so excessively. We must allow them relaxation without fostering laziness and reward them when they are quiet and thoughtful, what we previously denied them when they cried for it.

We must expose them to good role models. Senika understood that parenting is a balancing act. You want your kids to be confident but not obnoxious, to feel special but not entitled, comfortable but not spoiled.

You want them to be happy but also know how to handle disappointment and rejection, to not have to struggle but know how to overcome, to be self-sufficient but also know how to be a team player, to be carefree but also value hard work.

For us that means we must always keep in mind the end goal, not just what will make this moment easier for them and for you and we must assess each situation and strike a balance so your kid will too.

If you want some more stoic and Senika inspired parenting advice, I strongly suggest you check out a site we've been working on and launched recently called DailyDad.com.

It's one email per day with ancient wisdom applied to parenting. I'm really proud of it. It's a strategy that I'm trying to apply in my own life with my own family so I hope you check it out. Go to DailyDad.com.

The 10% happier podcast hosted by me Dan Harris has one overarching message. Happiness is a skill. The mind is trainable. So why not get involved with this?

I used to be a fidgety skeptical news anchor but after having a panic attack on national television which was pretty inconvenient, I decided to change my life.

I went on a whole trip to learn everything I could about the human brain, the human mind, the human psyche. And now my job is to help you achieve some measure of peace and happiness in your own life.

On my show every week I talk to top scientists, meditation teachers, even the odd celebrity, in wide-ranging conversations that explore topics such as productivity, relationships, anxiety, enlightenment, and psychedelics.

You can think about listening to 10% happier as a workout for your mind, although hopefully not sweaty. 10% happier is available one week early on Amazon Music or if you want to hear new episodes early and add free you can subscribe to Wondery Plus in Apple podcasts or on the Wondery app.
