Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Welcome to is the Doctor Corner by doctor John
O the guys. Thank you guys so much for joining
me today. A little bit bit history about myself. I'm
author of three books. UH. Book that I wrote back
twenty years ago was called Connecting with Your Team. If
you guys see my see my podcast total that's the book.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Uh. It was forward by josephin third.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I have thirty eight years in mental field, twenty three
years with working with parents and teens in uh fifteen
years of doing private practice old nine yards, I used
to do uh programs for parents and teens UH a lot.
I worked with over a hundred thousand kids in my
career in the last thirty eight years with the ninety
percent success rate. And how I s did a a
(00:41):
success rate was that uh these uh children had uh
they either went to college, trade score or something. And
and we have dentists, UH, we have pilots, we have mds,
we have little social workers, nurses the whole nine yards.
And most of these kids we're not supposed to make
it to be truly young with you. They're more of
(01:01):
at risk kids or come from low income and they
were targeted not to make it, which I don't really
believe that. I think all kids are at risk. So
let me break that down. If we can have a
person like I living on everybody in California, these kids
have money, they're at risks because they have too much money.
They can go to LA and get hair out, in
which a lot of them do anyway, right, not a lot,
(01:22):
but it's a huge issue. Or they could be poor
and they could be running drugs.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So I think all kids are at risk until you
have a strong foundation of strong parents to help out.
So this place what we're talking about today. So that's
pretty much my brief history. And of course, you know,
as a child, people told me that I would never
graduate eighth grade. I was retarded, I had a severe
studying problem. I'm never gonna make it in life. First
and foremost had great phenomenal parents. God addressed ourselves, and
(01:52):
of course we had God. And of course I had
to work my butt off to actually get where I'm at.
So I'm really happy. But I was just wanted to
tell the parents out there, if you can't get any
labels or anything else, if you have the right strategies
and the right tools, hopefully that you're learning today, that
you could apply these tools and change the quality of
your life, and and then and all the people that
(02:13):
you've provence of touching as well.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Beautiful. So let's go to the story.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So the program that I'm gonna work on today, get
in your team to talk. So spoke to a parent
and to be about a year or so ago, and
she says, act to John, I got a question for you.
I said, what's up? She says, my team doesn't talk.
I said it and this would. I asked her, have
you gained repport with your kid?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But I had them no.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I mean I shouldn't, well, I said, I said, I said,
that was not the question. Do you have have you
gained rapport with your kid?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And she says no.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I said, so, so let me break this whole thing
down to you so you guys can have it. In
a science, there's three ways to gain report And a
lot of people have heard this many, many of times.
But I used to let parents and teams there are
three ways to gain rapport. If so, it's by the
words they use to one tiple internality and physiology. So
(03:10):
they speak a little bit fast like I speak fast,
you speak fast. If they talk loud like me, I
love while talking people white because I talk loud, right,
or if they speak fast right, but now if they
speak slothow and you speak fast and not inside report.
Even if your parents right and they're speaking and they're
moving their hands like I'm moving my hands right now,
and if you're not doing the same thing, you're not
in rapport. But then we break it down to the
(03:30):
next step. If it is your kid's visual, auditorial chemnesthetic.
Now all this is in my book connecting with your team, right,
So I break this this whole, the whole strategies and
the little process down for parents to understand. You got
to still gain rapport and get rapport with your kid.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And some parents don't.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Some parents think, hey, I had I had Johnny, I
had Sue, so they should just they should enter you
like me. No, that's not the case, right, you have
your kid to get still in the game of poor.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So I come from a family of ten.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'm eight of ten biological right, and my mom and dad,
I'm telling you, man, they're like poetry emotion. Now, Dad
was hyper visual, you know, to the point my almost too,
oh my god, point it the whole nine yard. So
I understand their communication style, right. But the cool thing
about it they understand our communication style some other kids.
(04:25):
Now for me, they came down hard because I mean
I was a visual guy. Okay, fine, so I'm my
siblings like Romayne. They couldn't come down as heart. They
had to go around the circle a couple of times,
but of course they still got the result.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
With your child, you need to figure out, okay is
my child if oh first thing to say and my
visual auditory canistack right, and what's my child? And then
what we tell people is we tell people to.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Match and mirror.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, So if they're a visual person and they're a
visual person and you can't static, kid, it's gonna be
hard for you guys too.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Connect.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I talked to this one guy up at the gym
and I was doing sports purpose and performance is with
both sons, and both sons are pictures right. One of
the son is like him, outgoing kinesthetic guy. The other
son is not. He's more of a visual guy. He's
more auditorial guy. And they don't get along too well.
They you know, they following son. They get along right,
but not as well as the other son. And I
(05:23):
pointed it out to him, and I said, here's the
biggest challenge, right, I says, you were in a kinesthetic
molde all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So it's the other son, which is great.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The other son he goes from kinesthetic to visual to
auditorial and you know, not on his connection. And well,
I can't motivate him. No, because you don't motivate him
because you're doing your own style. You're not doing his style.
You're not entering his world. You're not matturing mirroring what
he's doing to connect with them.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Does this make sense? Parents? Okay, great?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
So that's the biggest thing about it is so when
you can understand the communication style, you find but he's
he's another thing right that both parents don't do or
people in general.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
They don't ask questions. So for example, just said, Johnny,
he goes to school. Now I say, ain't Johnny. Got
a question for you, ma'am, what who's your favorite teacher?
And they said, well, my favorite teacher is this is blank? Okay, great, great,
and why she's your favorite teacher?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Then you say, ain't, Johnny, by the way, what teacher
don't you like that much?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Start asking them questions.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Most parents do like questions they yelled, they gripe, they
do whatever it takes, but they don't ask questions or
they stream and they heathery.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And that's not connecting with them. Right.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
When you can't connect with your kid or your teenager,
guys can write this down. If you can't connect with
your teenager, the gangbinger will, the drug dealer will.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Somebody else will.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's why I said, parents, you have to have influence
over your child, but you got to learn how to
connect with them. You need to enter their world, figure
out what's going on. Still be firm, because I mean,
listen to me. My parents aren't connect to with ust
me in there. Oh my god, there's so firm. They
were to the point they were direct, and I understood
this right, But now they had ten kids. I'm made
(07:23):
of ten, you know by the time I was born.
They're a poor and true emotion. But to be truly
honest with you all, my suilmers are extremely well. They
they understood the whole process right. But what I see
parents they always fight with is the communication party. They
don't want they want to tell. They don't explain the kid.
I tell the kid when you say something, tell them why.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is how you teach them.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
This is how you this is how they learn from
what's taken place. Right, and then my book, connection is
what your team is pretty cool? Right, I break down everything,
I break down the communication. So because that's so huge
for me, I break down a Southern techniques of serving
strategies how to.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Gain rapport with your kid.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
And you're gonna like this parents without spending money. But
most people, they want to spend money or or buy
them cars, or buy them this or buy them that,
which is fine, don't get me wrong. I mean if
my mom, well, I wish my mother would have bought
me a Ferrari. No, to be honest with you, when
I was growing up, I wish my mom would have
bought me a court vet.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That would have been so nice.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Anyway that did that never happened, right, But a lot
of times they buy stuff supposed to trying to gain rapport,
trying to connect with them.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
But here's the thing about the parents. Write this down.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
If you the speed of the leader, at the speed
of the pack, if you're not working on yourself, how
can Johnny work on hisself? Remember, Johnny is gonna be
a tech recorder. However you do your anger and however
you deal with stuff, he's gonna do the exact same thing.
That's why I always tell all of the parents, monkey,
(08:59):
see monkey, do you have to watch what you do
around your kids because they're gonna do the exact same
thing that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And it might be and they could be the ugly
part of you. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So what I'm saying is the big thing about is
school just started. How are you talking to them? How
are you connecting with them? How are you how are
they saying, oh my god, you know, hey, you know
you know? And here it goes, man, I'm gonna tell
your front honest with you. I didn't like my parents.
I thought my parents was what was completely direct, completely
mean as how I really did. But here's the biggest
(09:31):
thing about it. We'll talk about this in another one.
You're all come leust not to be their friend. You
all come to be their parent. They're not gonna like you.
And I don't think I like my parents until maybe
in my twenties and thirties and understood it. I got
a little bit smarter, right, and I'm like, oh my god,
they're mean, But no, they're not mean. They were laying
down the foundation. So when I grow up, I can
(09:52):
function as a human. They're laying down the foundation so
when things take place, I can understand it better. I
gave me enough rope so I can hang myself because
well it knows I did. But of course they would
be back in and they taught me, Okay, here's what
you do and here's what you don't do.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Parents. Your job is not to be your kid's friend
at all.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Your job is to be their parents and to be friendly,
but to give them consequences.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But that's a different one.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The focus of the thing is how are you talking
to your teenager?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And do you want to improve the communications with your teenager?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So what I did, guys, I have a book all
these guys connecting what your teen wrote out about Oh
my god, almost twenty years ago. You know my mom
read of that book right when I wrote it. My
mom looked at me. She's ad son, I wish I
had this book. I would have had a road map
for success.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And I looked at Mom. I said, Mama, we came
out extremely well.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I mean we you know, we have doctors, We have
a lot of successful people inside the family, right, I said,
I thought you did a great job. But I said, wow,
I appreciate that. That's a huge compliment. So what I'm
doing right now is I am, I am. I have
an audio If you guys want the audio part of it,

Speaker 2 (11:39):
But the book is fire.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The book has strategies and tools to actually completely change
the quality of your life and all the purgures of
that you have, especially if they have what I caught
teenagers and teenagers to me is a little bit different
from like eleven, ten or eleven, because these kids go
pretty quick. Right when I was ten, back forty some
odd years ago or fifty years ago, I was really ten.
You know, these kids at ten, they're like twenty five
(12:02):
