Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Dad podcast, where on the weekends, we do a deeper dive

and how to get better at our most important job, being a parent. Sometimes in these episodes,

I talk to best-selling authors and elite performers and other guests, but lately I've also

been having conversations with my wife, Samantha, the co-parent of my two

boys. We do it over in the Daily Stoic studio here in Bastrop, Texas. She and I talk about things

that we're working on as parents, things that we're working on as people, and how we are supporting

each other, challenging each other, and like I said, trying to get better at what we do.

Guest or not, I hope you hear some ideas here that will help make you a better parent.

I was better for having the conversation.

I hope you enjoy.

I was just down at the beach with my kids and my in-laws, and I went to Target to grab something.

And you know what I ended up grabbing off the shelf?

I grabbed a KiwiCo kit. We usually get ours in the mail.

It's an amazing subscription product.

They send you these science-based,

art-based, stem-based kits that keep your kids off their screens, keep them engaged, keep them

learning. And I actually didn't know you could buy them at the store. So I bought one, and we

ended up doing it together as a family on one of those days when it was raining. So we're big

fans of KiwiCo and they've been supporters of the show for a really long time. It's science,

technology, engineering, art and math projects delivered right to your door or at some retailers.

And kids of any age can explore their curiosity and build critical thinking skills by putting them together.

It's also a great transition to get them back in the headspace for starting school.
