Episode notes
Try Again When They Grow Into It
- Wait and be ready to try again when something fails with your child.
- Retry experiences later because children's readiness, tastes, and abilities change quickly.
Examples Of Things That Didn't Work
- Ryan lists failed attempts like teaching bike riding or introducing sushi to illustrate common parenting stumbles.
- He notes those attempts can hurt feelings but recommends revisiting them later when kids mature.

- Openness, aptitude, and tastes can change suddenly, making previous failures irrelevant.
