When we think teacher, we think classroom. When we think leader, we think the corner office or the lectern or a general in front of their troops. But the truth is that a teacher can do their job anywhere and in many forms, just as a leader can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bPlutarch would say of Socrates\u200b<\/a> that he \u201cdid not set up desks for his students, sit in a teacher\u2019s chair, or reserve a prearranged time for lecturing and walking with his pupils. No, he practiced philosophy while joking around (when the chance arose) and drinking and serving on military campaigns and hanging around the marketplace with some of his students, and finally, even while under arrest and drinking the hemlock. He was the first to demonstrate that our lives are open to philosophy at all times and in every aspect, while experiencing every emotion, and in each and every activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bAs with teaching and with leadership and with philosophy\u200b<\/a>, so too with parenting. You can be a parent anywhere. It\u2019s not just on fishing trips or at family dinners. It\u2019s not just about carrying them around in a baby bjorn or going to back-to-school night. It\u2019s not about punishments or incentives, or rules or life lessons, though of course it\u2019s also about all these things too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember what we\u2019ve talked about with \u200bquality time vs. garbage time\u200b<\/a>? It may just be that the most impact you\u2019ll have as a dad will come while joking around, it may come on a walk, it may come with how you do your job (\u200band show them your work\u200b<\/a>), it may come on a family vacation or it may come while you\u2019re watching TV and make some passing comment that lands in exactly the right way. It may come\u2014god forbid\u2014\u200bon your deathbed, as you depart from this life with courage and compassion\u200b<\/a>, showing them that they don\u2019t need to be afraid, that you love them and that they\u2019ll be okay without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a parent is not some official thing. It\u2019s not sitting on high, doling out pronouncements and demanding obedience. It\u2019s something you do anywhere and everywhere, every minute of every day in the same way that Socrates taught\u2014by example, by getting down to their level, by being open, and by adapting to the situation at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
