Summary
"Sometimes, when parents fall down on the job, it falls to someone else to do the job. The primary and most important influence on Queen Victoria, for instance, was not her mother but her beloved governess Baroness Lehzen, who later became her adviser and friend.
It was from Louise Lehzen that Victoria got the backbone that made her one of England’s great queens—one who ruled for some 63 years, more than 40 of them by herself."
Ryan describes what Baroness Lehzen did that imbued Victoria with so much strength, and how you can emulate her example, in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

| 1:08.8 | which is to test, consider, and to stand firmly by that which the princess |
| 1:13.4 | finds right and good. Is that not your job as well to teach them how to find what's right and how to |
| 1:19.4 | stand for it, to stand firmly for it, no matter how much resistance or flack they take? |
