From the start, Dalinar usually paid much less attention to Renarin than to Adolin, since because of Renarin’s condition he couldn’t ever be a good fighter.{{book ref|sa3|94}} Dalinar often suggests to Renarin that he become a scholar or an [[ardent]]. Between the burning of Rathalas and shortly after the discovery of the Parshendi, he despised Adolin due to how he reminded him of Evi.{{book ref|sa3|94}}
Later on, Dalinar grows more loving and supportive, and is encouraging to his son. Dalinar gives Renarin plate and blade, wanting him to be able to defend himself if the need arises.{{book ref|sa3|2}}{{book ref|sa1|18}} After Renarin becomes a Radiant, Dalinar learns to see his healing abilities as invaluable, and sees that Renarin is indeed strong, though in a different way than he had thought. Dalinar feels shame for his treatment of Renarin, and soon treats him with respect.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|44}}
He tries to protect Renarin from various forms of insults and mockery, be they malicious or in good faith.{{book ref|sa1|12}}{{book ref|sa3|44}} This in part comes from thinking of Renarin as overly fragile, something Wit actively called him out on.{{book ref|sa1|12}} He is enraged by people referring to Renarin as useless for his inability to properly fight in the war, and gets sent into a nigh-murderous rage by such claims.{{book ref|sa1|15}}{{book ref|sa1|18}} Despite his respect for him, he does doubt his capability to fight due to his epilepsy, and tends to still think of him as simply "the boy", even after he has long since become a man.{{book ref|sa1|18}}
When Renarin goes to the meetings of the scholars in Urithiru, Dalinar sometimes joins the meetings to show support for his son and to dispel the notion that he is acting unmasculine.{{book ref|sa3|44}} Dalinar and Renarin share a bond over the fact that both of them experience visions against their will. After he learns about what happened to his mother Renarin chooses to blame Odium for her death instead of Dalinar so he would not lose him as well.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
Renarin himself was hurt upon discovering that his father was the one who killed Evi. But, not wanting to lose another person important to him, he choose to blame Odium for her death instead.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
