Episode: 68: When Is the Perfect Time to Have Kids? | Feedb...

Dan Millman, a past guest on the show, offered a balanced and measured response regarding the ideal time to start a family, emphasizing that while there's no perfect time, the moment one seriously considers having children may be the best time.

"

any response to your good question about when to start having kids is a paradox because well on a practical level there may seem to be better times to raise children basic stability in locale and financials and when major schooling commitments are complete and one has some free attention and energy to give the children

on the other hand as you into it there's certainly no ideal or right time physiologically mid 20s to mid 30s probably works best for women but there are always exceptions one doesn't have to be totally established in a career in fact the birth of a child and children can be a great motivator giving meaning and purpose to making a good living basically despite concerns or doubts when you start thinking seriously about children that may be the best time from my perspective and experience

parenting is both a sacrifice and delight it's all in the abstract until it's real as you look into the eyes of your baby life will never be the same it's a form of voluntary adversity that will ultimately deepen and enrich your life and humanity good journeys Dan
