Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast where we provide one lesson every day to help you with your most important job being a dad.

These are lessons inspired by ancient philosophy, by practical wisdom, and insights from dads all over the world.

Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

This solves most problems.

We've said before that taking a walk will solve most of your parenting problems.

Getting the kids outside, rocking them with the ambulatory sway of our species,

stimulating them with some sunlight and scenery. It's decent for relationships too with both your

kids and your spouse to get some space, turn down the volume, distract the mind.

Any experienced parent can also tell you

about another magical panacea. It's called food. Why is your kid screaming? Why are they

terrorizing their siblings? Why can't they focus during homeschool? Why can't they fall asleep?

Why is your teenager so moody? The answer is simple. They are hungry. They are hangary. They don't even know it.

Moms have long carried snacks in their purses for a reason, because it will solve most problems.

Soothe the most frayed nerves, calm down the most difficult situations. Somebody always forgets to

eat. So feed them. Ask them if they are hungry, remind them that they are

hungry, keep a tight meal schedule, watch what happens. Also, when you are grouchy and frustrated and anxious

and short with your spouse and your kids, you might be hungry yourself, and like walking, grabbing

something to eat, will probably solve most of your adult problems, too.
