In this podcast, I share powerful examples from my own childhood—moments where family routines shaped me in ways that still drive my destiny today. Structure, consistency, and discipline didn’t just keep me on track; they gave me the foundation to grow into who I am now.
Because here’s the truth: when parents don’t establish routines or rules, teens are left with no sense of direction. That’s when confusion, poor choices, and unnecessary struggles creep in. Without structure, the family loses alignment.
I break down different ways parents can build routines that not only keep the household running smoothly but also shape their teens’ confidence, decision-making, and future success. Whether it’s morning rituals, evening check-ins, or consistent expectations, routines create clarity—and clarity builds leaders.
Transformation doesn’t happen by chance; it happens by choice. And family routines are one of the most powerful choices you can make as a parent.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Doctor's Corner with doctor John Oda. Guys,
thank you guys so much. Today's gonna be a fun show.
So the toa today the show is gonna be creating
a family routine. So before we starts, go through the introduction.
My name is doctor John Odill. I have thirty eight
years of working with parents and teens. I'm an international
best star author of three books, and one of the
(00:23):
books is called Connecting with Your Team. So I've been
working with the mental health and what I call the
neurosciences for almost four decades. Uh. Started off in the
mental health field. Uh did extremely well. Uh, but I
I I there's something missing. So I started doing more
of the neurosciences and and helping out teams. And you
(00:44):
know what, normally people take five years, take a couple months, right,
So and throughout the years, I just got better and
better and better. I'm an avid reader. Uh, I'm a learner.
Matter of fact, I'm going through a program right now. Uh,
intense one. But it's great, but it's just in my head.
Back in the game again. So my number one I
would come for this program is to teach you guys
(01:06):
some tools and strategies that you can use today, not tomorrow,
not next year, but today. And when I was looking
at the family routine, right, it remight even when I
was growing up. Right. So, I'm from Mischigan City, Indiana.
It's about forty five miles west of Chicago. That's right
by Gary, Indiana. We call that the region area. We're
pretty much like a suburb of Chicago, you know, to say,
(01:29):
if anybody is not familiar with that area. But growing up,
you know, So I come from a family of ten.
I'm eight of ten. I'm the baby boy. I have
two younger sisters. I have six sisters and three brothers. Right,
so when you have a big family, you have to
have rules, you have to have strategies, you have to
have a family routine. So everybody could be as on
(01:51):
the same page. But let me just stop right now, guys,
for anybody's listening to me right now, and thank you
so much for taking your time. If it's in the
morning and evening the night with times, whatever it is,
this is the right time and this is a message
that you needed to hear today. So thank you so much.
So back to the program again. So when we had
a routine, the very first rule that my mom and
(02:13):
dad had very first rule that everybody's going to college
and graduated. That was their new one room. And now
imagine we have ten kids. You know, we went to
private schools though nine yards, right, But that was the outcome.
Now I'm back in the fifties. That was not a
that was not called for. If you have a big family,
you must be poor or something else took place. Dad
(02:34):
worked two jobs. You know. At first he was working
at Pullman and Pullman factory was doing extreme world. They
got burnt down, and then he started working two jobs
and mom was r N. So they that was their outcome,
their outcome, and by the grace of God, we all graduated,
you know, by the grace of God and the determination
of my parents. You know, we have four doctors inside
(02:56):
the family. I'm the only one with psychology. The rest
is business, seven masters degrees and all the rest is
bachelor's right. But the concept is they had an outcome,
that a rule. So I remember one time when I
was like about thirteen years old, right, I said, Mom
and Daddy listened to that. I told Mom, I said, Mom,
pulls me going to college. I'm gonna take care of
you guys. You know, you and Dad's getting old and
everything else. So Dad would come home, you know, lunchtime,
(03:20):
and Mom told Dad and mom and Dad was having
some colorful language and I'm like, okay, I don't know
what's going on. So the next night, Dad, you know,
he got home at twelve o'clock at night. He woke
me up and gave me the most colorful language in
the world. But in that show, he said, you know, listen,
listen to me, son, I work with my hands, right,
this is how I get my money. You work with
(03:41):
your mind, and if you do that, you'll be fine.
And I'm so happy that he gave me their speech.
And the reason why is because that's why I started going.
I went to school and everything else. And I tell
all my teens, I was never the smartest, one of
the most persistent one. I said if and I told myself,
if my siblings can graduate and we come, I'm the
same family. I know why I can. It should It
(04:01):
should have to be a system. They have to be
a strategy for them that actually take place. Right. So
that was the number one of my parents. Rout is
routine the second one right. So we grew up in Indiana.
We my dad had this huge garden, probably about an
acre maybe half acre to acre, right, big, big, big,
big garden. Right. And Daddy was, you know, he had
two jobs, or sometimes he had one job, but worked
(04:23):
like two jobs, right, And they did that for forty years.
So what happened was when he get him at twelve o'clock,
he'd get up at four thirty five o'clock in the
morning again, and guess what he'd be doing. If you
guys said, work on the garden. Absolutely he could work
on that garden. He'd work on like this life depending
on it. So what he would do Dad and mom
rules was if they're up, we get up. So when
(04:43):
Dad would wake up at four thirty five o'clock in
the morning, he said something, are you up? We're like
know that. He said, get your he said get your
butt up, and I'm like you joking, And so I'm thinking, okay, summertime,
even when the time to wake me up. Talk about
the guard and says, son, what's going on with your day?
(05:04):
What's taking place? Who's your favorite teacher? He ask me
these questions. I'm like, oh my goodness, this man, that's
all you want to do is talk. But now let
me explain you what that did to me even today.
You know, in my fall season of my life, right,
I wake up between four o'clock to five o'clock every morning.
I want to get up, and most times I get up,
(05:25):
I hit to the gym and do what I gotta
get done. But I'm up for like sixteen hours a day,
you know, plus right, probably sit about maybe four to
six hours, and that's good for me. Right. But but
but the concept is I had a routine. The reason
why I'm telling you guys all this stuff is because
here's my biggest thing about it. Do you have a
routune at your house? The next routine that we had, right,
(05:47):
we all had chores. So here's dad rose. The girls
don't work in the garden, right, guys do The mom
told us that we had to do housework. So I
had days where I had to watch the dishes, mop
the floor, right, had days I had to clean up
the house. Had the days I had to do all
of the all of the housework. So, ex mom, d
(06:09):
I said, Mom, I got a question for you, mat
She said, what baby? That says? If I have to
do this housework and the girls can't go outside, why
am I doing this housework, and I'm gonna be a
millionaire when I grow up. Mom didn't misbeat. Mom said,
you know, honey, you're actually right and you will be
a millionaire. But but before that time take place. I
wanna show you how to cook and clean and do
(06:31):
everything else that you have to do, so when you
become a millionaire, you know what to eat and everything else.
And I was fine because I know how to cook,
I know how to clean. Why I did housework, I
know how to so it was it. I had a
mop kitchens and do dishes. And imagine having dishes for
seven eight people, you know, dirty, and they had to
(06:52):
wash them. It's the one day I remember I had
to wash its dishes, right, and I had to wash him.
Think I fell asleep. Mama woke and she had to
work midnights. Man, she had that dirty catchen. Man. She
woke me up. She said some colorful language. She back
in the day she beat my butt and man, and
(07:13):
now was the last time that happened again. Why because
she had to stand and she had rules. I understood it.
Mom said that I work is my job. As I
work and I make money for the family. Your job
is you go to school, and you keep this house clean.
You know, that's it. But the cancer is those rules.
It shaped me. Those rules made me who I am
(07:36):
today and the reason why I am going there with
you guys. And here's the challenge that I have. Do
you guys have a mission statement for your family? So
my parents' mission statement was everyone's going to college and graduated.
That was your mission, didn't no excuses were made, that
was it. So here's what I'm thinking, what is your
(07:57):
mission statement for your family? Number two? Do your kids
do chores? Uh? I? W? I went to a friend
of mine house and I was surprised. She had her
kid do chores and she was paying her this crazy
amount of money. And I'm looking at her. Why w
I said, why you're paying her money? She said, what
do you mean? Well, you pay for food, right, yeah,
(08:18):
you pay for woof of her head? Yeah, but she
needs to earn her keep, she needs to work, and
why are you paying there all this freaking money? And
I said that that's crazy. I said, no, no, you
wanna give her an allowance. You can give her her
an allowance based on her behavior. And that's of course
a behavior modification. That's a whole new, different program, right,
(08:41):
But there's ways of doing it, but to just to
pay 'em just to do work. No, And there's another one.
The outcome parents out there is to not become their friends,
to be a parent and be friendly, but also to
be positive. And I meet so many parents that don't
(09:02):
have that positive nature. There are this negative they're this
doom to gloom. And remember and I mentioned this in
one of my programs, speedy lead to speed the pack.
If you're gonna be that negativities, your kid's gonna see that,
and that's what they're gonna go into actually display. Right.
So the outcome is too is to is the outcome
(09:22):
is to interrupt that pattern, to figure out how you
can go further faster and not have all that crazy
stuff going on. Does that make sense? Beautiful? Now? My
next one guys, right? And oh yeah, and then forgot
forgot they did have enough. Another one they they we
had a routine every Sunday, the whole family ate together,
cause you know, we had people in sports, X, Y
(09:43):
and Z, the people the kids that that was at home.
We ate together every Sunday and mom and dad cooked
the feast. It seemed like a twenty a twenty coursemail
man from the riars to the chicken, to the lamb,
to all the sides going on, and we would on
the rules. I remember that like it was yesterday. Every
Sunday we ate together. And another one that Mom and
(10:04):
Dad did too. Every day we prayed together. We would
say the Rosary and Mama would read the Bible. Mom
was a PK kid, right, but we would do and
we're Catholic, so we did the Rosary every day, right,
And those are the those are those were the routiness.
The cool thing about the routines. That's who shaped me.
That's who I am today. It goes a wake up
in the morning, early in the morning, you know, you know,
(10:27):
four three, four thirty in the morning, I won't hit
to the gym, do what I gotta get done, right,
you know, So I still wake up. You know I
still wanna grow and learn. So I'm doing a program
right now. And that's intense. You know, I'm still learning
because of that's what I love to do. I love
to learn. If I can learn one of two things, man,
it's it's a breakthrough. And then sometimes all you need
is that one or two things for that breakthrough. Right,
(10:49):
So that's what I'm doing right now. You know, I
still do chores, you know what I mean. I still
gotta cook and clean and do and do whatever I
gotta get a place. Right. I still pray every day.
Uh that's a muster that you know. I pray every day.
And you know, for you guys, it could be God
or boodh or job, it could be uh indudgeons, but
(11:10):
it has to be something that's higher than myself. Right.
And when I'm you know, is when I'm with my family,
I do eat together, right and you know, and and
sometimes when I go back home to like Indiana or
else where, my feelming's at. You know, I want to
eat together with them so we can actually talk again
and not like we're back, you know, back in the
day again. You know. So those things I still do.
(11:33):
So here's a million dollar question. What routine what family
be tuning? Do you guys want to implement inside your family?
What things are you going to do right now? And
so you can actually can go further faster because that's
the key right there. So it goes. If you guys
like this program, whatever you guys watching it, give me
(11:55):
a five stars, make a comment and tell me whatever,
what another program that you want me to give? I
got it right and it's not a problem. Right, So
what you guys, That's what I'm doing right now. I
started this last on Friday, matter of fact of last
week and the twelfth or something, right. I wanted to
do what is what I call as a program that
(12:16):
I do for parents and teens. Right, I have two
different programs I want for parents and teams and sports
performance parents and teams. I work with the parents and
teens the six months and I completely change the quality
of the of the like I work with the parents
and work with the teens and over nine yards to
get over some of the could be definancy issues or
depression or whatever that they face. Sometimes they go to
(12:36):
their skill counselor which don't really have the skill set.
They said I got out of forty years experience. I
got a close to forty years experience. I do the
mental health in the neuroscience combined. So it's a powerful method.
But the concept as that these kids go further faster.
I worked with over one hundred thousand kids in my career.
It had a ninety percent success rate. And now I
did to find my success rate just it's real thin.
(12:58):
Again though, I guess it goes back to my parenting,
and I didn't think about it until today. They have
to graduate college and it can be uh an association,
it can be associates, a bachelor as a master's. Whatever
it is does make a difference, right. It can be
trade school, right, and they have to change their life, right,
So I never thought of that. I guess that did
(13:18):
came from mom and dad, right. So, but but my
BIG's in about all my kids are successful as hell.
They're all I mean, all the kids that I work with,
they're really they're born like even the ones who didn't
go to college. You know, they might have got to
their business up and gone, and they're born up right.
So so because to deal with parents and teams is
really easy, and parents and the parents and part of
(13:38):
it would give them the enhancement program. I wrote a
book called Connecting with Your Team. We use that book
as a model and we'll show you, guys tools and
strategies to work with a kid right till that's a
six month program and then we have for a sports
performance and the sports performance one is pretty cool, right,
So if you have a kid that's an athlete or
they're doing baseball or Gulf for whatever sports that they're playing.
(14:01):
You can be even high school or college or whatever. Right,
it doesn't make a difference. We works with pros as well.
That one is a core program we do. Like life
coaching we do. We show them how to be their
own boss, like curate their own apparel. We teach them
how to be better sports mentally. Right, a lot of
them they're physically there, but they're not mentally there, so
are no more outcomes to give them the tools and strategies. Right,
(14:22):
So the programs are freaking phenomenal. So what I'm doing
right now, I only had it into was I think tomorrow.
But I'm extended. And these are the reason why Exton.
I was talking to a parent to today. She says,
doctor John, we just had scorches got in. We had
to get them clothes and X, Y and Z, the
whole nine yards. I said, you know, yeah, you're right,
and I says, and I says, this is September's harvest.
(14:45):
You know you gotta plant your seats as well as
this is suicide prevention months as well, So no Noumber
one outcome. Now, guys, is a getting gets until September thirtieth.
First my outcomes, I have ten people, No, my out
comes to have twenty five. I want to really change
some lives. That's my number one goal is and and
everybody at touched only by the grace of God. They
prosper and they're succeeding. Why it's not because I'm the
(15:07):
best guy in the world, because I think I am.
It's because of really of who my father is, and
the school and the and and my experience of doing
what I do best, and that's changing people lives if
it's in sports performance. But with sports performance, we give
them everything, even with the parents in program. We even
give them a program to learn how to study, so
they get really a complete program to go further faster.
(15:29):
And with the parents, the parents get some tools as
well to work with Johnny or work with Sue and
to figure out what's going on. So here it goes.
If you guys want some more information, you guys can
email me at doctor john Oda at gmail. That's the
easy one. Or you can email me at john at
doctor Johnhood dot com. Doesn't make a difference, but you
have in the month when I'm one goal is to
(15:51):
actually work with as many people as possible to give
them the tools and the strategies to move forward. Because
as parents, we want our kids to be the best.
We want them to be the best of the best,
and in this world they're not prepared to be the best.
They have so much competition out there. My job is
to eliminate the competition and show them how to be
(16:11):
the best. So until the next time, I thank you
so much again. Though, if you like this podcast, pass
it to somebody else who actually need to hear this,
because if you didn't come here by accident five stars
and above, it would be great. If you need you
want me to speak about something else, let me know.
If not, look inside my list to see what I
actually talked about already. And if you have a business,
(16:34):
we have another program that's called the Doctor John Oda Method.
We focus on business strategies and how to grow your business.
All right, everybody, guys, until the next time, take care
and al is God bless bye for now.
Welcome to the Doctor's Corner with doctor John Oda. Guys,

the house. Had the days I had to do all
of the all of the housework. So, ex mom, d
(06:09):
I said, Mom, I got a question for you, mat
She said, what baby? That says? If I have to
do this housework and the girls can't go outside, why
am I doing this housework, and I'm gonna be a
millionaire when I grow up. Mom didn't misbeat. Mom said,
you know, honey, you're actually right and you will be
a millionaire. But but before that time take place. I
wanna show you how to cook and clean and do
(06:31):
everything else that you have to do, so when you
become a millionaire, you know what to eat and everything else.
And I was fine because I know how to cook,
I know how to clean. Why I did housework, I
know how to so it was it. I had a
mop kitchens and do dishes. And imagine having dishes for
seven eight people, you know, dirty, and they had to
(06:52):
wash them. It's the one day I remember I had
to wash its dishes, right, and I had to wash him.
Think I fell asleep. Mama woke and she had to
work midnights. Man, she had that dirty catchen. Man. She
woke me up. She said some colorful language. She back
in the day she beat my butt and man, and
(07:13):
now was the last time that happened again. Why because
she had to stand and she had rules. I understood it.
Mom said that I work is my job. As I
work and I make money for the family. Your job
is you go to school, and you keep this house clean.
You know, that's it. But the cancer is those rules.
It shaped me. Those rules made me who I am
(07:36):
today and the reason why I am going there with
you guys. And here's the challenge that I have. Do
you guys have a mission statement for your family? So
my parents' mission statement was everyone's going to college and graduated.
That was your mission, didn't no excuses were made, that
was it. So here's what I'm thinking, what is your
(07:57):
mission statement for your family? Number two? Do your kids
do chores? Uh? I? W? I went to a friend
of mine house and I was surprised. She had her
kid do chores and she was paying her this crazy
amount of money. And I'm looking at her. Why w
I said, why you're paying her money? She said, what
do you mean? Well, you pay for food, right, yeah,
(08:18):
you pay for woof of her head? Yeah, but she
needs to earn her keep, she needs to work, and
why are you paying there all this freaking money? And
I said that that's crazy. I said, no, no, you
wanna give her an allowance. You can give her her
an allowance based on her behavior. And that's of course
a behavior modification. That's a whole new, different program, right,
(08:41):
But there's ways of doing it, but to just to
pay 'em just to do work. No, And there's another one.
The outcome parents out there is to not become their friends,
to be a parent and be friendly, but also to
be positive. And I meet so many parents that don't
(09:02):
have that positive nature. There are this negative they're this
doom to gloom. And remember and I mentioned this in
one of my programs, speedy lead to speed the pack.
If you're gonna be that negativities, your kid's gonna see that,
and that's what they're gonna go into actually display. Right.
So the outcome is too is to is the outcome
(09:22):
is to interrupt that pattern, to figure out how you
can go further faster and not have all that crazy
stuff going on. Does that make sense? Beautiful? Now? My
next one guys, right? And oh yeah, and then forgot
forgot they did have enough. Another one they they we
had a routine every Sunday, the whole family ate together,
cause you know, we had people in sports, X, Y
(09:43):
and Z, the people the kids that that was at home.
We ate together every Sunday and mom and dad cooked
the feast. It seemed like a twenty a twenty coursemail
man from the riars to the chicken, to the lamb,
to all the sides going on, and we would on
the rules. I remember that like it was yesterday. Every
Sunday we ate together. And another one that Mom and
(10:04):
Dad did too. Every day we prayed together. We would
say the Rosary and Mama would read the Bible. Mom
was a PK kid, right, but we would do and
we're Catholic, so we did the Rosary every day, right,
And those are the those are those were the routiness.
The cool thing about the routines. That's who shaped me.
That's who I am today. It goes a wake up
in the morning, early in the morning, you know, you know,
(10:27):
four three, four thirty in the morning, I won't hit
to the gym, do what I gotta get done, right,
you know, So I still wake up. You know I
still wanna grow and learn. So I'm doing a program
right now. And that's intense. You know, I'm still learning
because of that's what I love to do. I love
to learn. If I can learn one of two things, man,
it's it's a breakthrough. And then sometimes all you need
is that one or two things for that breakthrough. Right,
(10:49):
So that's what I'm doing right now. You know, I
still do chores, you know what I mean. I still
gotta cook and clean and do and do whatever I
gotta get a place. Right. I still pray every day.
Uh that's a muster that you know. I pray every day.
And you know, for you guys, it could be God
or boodh or job, it could be uh indudgeons, but
(11:10):
it has to be something that's higher than myself. Right.
And when I'm you know, is when I'm with my family,
I do eat together, right and you know, and and
sometimes when I go back home to like Indiana or
else where, my feelming's at. You know, I want to
eat together with them so we can actually talk again
and not like we're back, you know, back in the
day again. You know. So those things I still do.
(11:33):
So here's a million dollar question. What routine what family
be tuning? Do you guys want to implement inside your family?
What things are you going to do right now? And
so you can actually can go further faster because that's
the key right there. So it goes. If you guys
like this program, whatever you guys watching it, give me
(11:55):
a five stars, make a comment and tell me whatever,
what another program that you want me to give? I
got it right and it's not a problem. Right, So
what you guys, That's what I'm doing right now. I
started this last on Friday, matter of fact of last
week and the twelfth or something, right. I wanted to
do what is what I call as a program that
(12:16):
I do for parents and teens. Right, I have two
different programs I want for parents and teams and sports
performance parents and teams. I work with the parents and
teens the six months and I completely change the quality
of the of the like I work with the parents
and work with the teens and over nine yards to
get over some of the could be definancy issues or
depression or whatever that they face. Sometimes they go to
(12:36):
their skill counselor which don't really have the skill set.
They said I got out of forty years experience. I
got a close to forty years experience. I do the
mental health in the neuroscience combined. So it's a powerful method.
But the concept as that these kids go further faster.
I worked with over one hundred thousand kids in my career.
It had a ninety percent success rate. And now I
did to find my success rate just it's real thin.
(12:58):
Again though, I guess it goes back to my parenting,
and I didn't think about it until today. They have
to graduate college and it can be uh an association,
it can be associates, a bachelor as a master's. Whatever
it is does make a difference, right. It can be
trade school, right, and they have to change their life, right,
So I never thought of that. I guess that did
(13:18):
came from mom and dad, right. So, but but my
BIG's in about all my kids are successful as hell.
They're all I mean, all the kids that I work with,
they're really they're born like even the ones who didn't
go to college. You know, they might have got to
their business up and gone, and they're born up right.
So so because to deal with parents and teams is
really easy, and parents and the parents and part of
(13:38):
it would give them the enhancement program. I wrote a
book called Connecting with Your Team. We use that book
as a model and we'll show you, guys tools and
strategies to work with a kid right till that's a
six month program and then we have for a sports
performance and the sports performance one is pretty cool, right,
So if you have a kid that's an athlete or
they're doing baseball or Gulf for whatever sports that they're playing.
(14:01):
You can be even high school or college or whatever. Right,
it doesn't make a difference. We works with pros as well.
That one is a core program we do. Like life
coaching we do. We show them how to be their
own boss, like curate their own apparel. We teach them
how to be better sports mentally. Right, a lot of
them they're physically there, but they're not mentally there, so
are no more outcomes to give them the tools and strategies. Right,
(14:22):
So the programs are freaking phenomenal. So what I'm doing
right now, I only had it into was I think tomorrow.
But I'm extended. And these are the reason why Exton.
I was talking to a parent to today. She says,
doctor John, we just had scorches got in. We had
to get them clothes and X, Y and Z, the
whole nine yards. I said, you know, yeah, you're right,
and I says, and I says, this is September's harvest.
(14:45):
You know you gotta plant your seats as well as
this is suicide prevention months as well, So no Noumber
one outcome. Now, guys, is a getting gets until September thirtieth.
First my outcomes, I have ten people, No, my out
comes to have twenty five. I want to really change
some lives. That's my number one goal is and and
everybody at touched only by the grace of God. They
prosper and they're succeeding. Why it's not because I'm the
(15:07):
best guy in the world, because I think I am.
It's because of really of who my father is, and
the school and the and and my experience of doing
what I do best, and that's changing people lives if
it's in sports performance. But with sports performance, we give
them everything, even with the parents in program. We even
give them a program to learn how to study, so
they get really a complete program to go further faster.
(15:29):
And with the parents, the parents get some tools as
well to work with Johnny or work with Sue and
to figure out what's going on. So here it goes.
If you guys want some more information, you guys can
email me at doctor john Oda at gmail. That's the
easy one. Or you can email me at john at
doctor Johnhood dot com. Doesn't make a difference, but you
have in the month when I'm one goal is to
(15:51):
actually work with as many people as possible to give
them the tools and the strategies to move forward. Because
as parents, we want our kids to be the best.
We want them to be the best of the best,
and in this world they're not prepared to be the best.
They have so much competition out there. My job is
to eliminate the competition and show them how to be
(16:11):
the best. So until the next time, I thank you
so much again. Though, if you like this podcast, pass
it to somebody else who actually need to hear this,
because if you didn't come here by accident five stars
and above, it would be great. If you need you
want me to speak about something else, let me know.
If not, look inside my list to see what I
actually talked about already. And if you have a business,
(16:34):
we have another program that's called the Doctor John Oda Method.
We focus on business strategies and how to grow your business.
All right, everybody, guys, until the next time, take care
and al is God bless bye for now.
