| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent. |
| 0:14.8 | I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from |
| 0:23.4 | parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps. |
| 0:34.4 | How you do it is how they will. At some point, your kids will have to shoulder responsibility. |
| 0:40.1 | They will have coworkers who they can't stand or bosses who snap at them. There will be big tests and big |
| 0:45.0 | presentations. The ups and downs of relationships, the phone call they don't want to make, |
| 0:50.3 | the projects that come right down to the wire. It's not a question of whether your kids will ever feel stressed. |
| 0:56.1 | The question is how will they respond to these everyday stressors? Will they fold under pressure? Will they get |
| 1:01.2 | angry? Will they cower in the corner? Will they try to avoid difficulty altogether? |

| 1:26.4 | them is how to respond to stress and pressure. You have to show them how to bear adversity, how to stay poised |
| 1:32.1 | and under control when surrounded by chaos. You have to show them that is not external circumstances |
| 1:37.1 | that matter, but how we respond to them that counts. How we deal with difficult emotions, |
| 1:41.8 | how we articulate what we're feeling, these are the things |
| 1:44.6 | that will make all the difference when they get older, which is why right now they have to see |
| 1:49.7 | us taking on responsibility, navigating difficulty, admitting mistakes, asking for help. |
| 1:55.6 | As we've said, you are making allowances every day. What you pour out is soaking into them, your emotions, your moods, |
| 2:02.6 | your choices, the examples you set are affecting your kids always. How you manage the stress in your |
| 2:08.9 | life is setting your kids up for better or for worse for how they will manage the stress |
