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.

I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for

listening, and we hope this helps. When they're young, when they're asleep, when they're older,

when you're old, when you're on vacation after a big Thanksgiving meal early in the morning before

school, in the afternoons when you're visiting their new family, this is one thing you should do with your kids. You should go for a walk with them. Long walks, short walks, hikes, on trails on the road, to a destination, in a loop, in a stroller with a baby Bjorn. Them struggling to keep up with you, you struggling to keep up with them. It doesn't matter. It's all good. We talked about John Adams,

him and his fascinating relationship with his brilliant son, John Quincy. When the two of them were

in Paris, while Adams was 53, they would walk five to six miles together each morning. Can you

imagine the conversations they had, the things they were able to share and to connect about?

Even if they passed it in total

silence, the time alone together must have been wonderful. We've talked about those famous

20,000-year-old footprints in White Sands National Park, some of the oldest evidence of humans in

North America, and it's depicting just another timeless and universal version of that very scene, a parent

carrying and walking

with a child passing the time being together. You'll never regret taking a walk, especially if you do it

with your family. It's good for the body. It's better for the mind. It's amazing for relationships.

Get together. Get outside. Get moving. get connected.

Hey, thanks for listening to the Daily Dad podcast.
