Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Doctor's Corner, well doctor John Oda parenting program.
So the theme of the whole program is really my
book called Connecting with Your Team, Believe it or not.
I wrote that book nineteen years ago. So let me
explain you something about me. A wrote the book nineteen
years ago. I have thirty eight years in mentel filling
(00:23):
started back in nineteen eighty seven. Woof, yeah, so I
was just telling people. So a little bit history about myself.
I worked residential, I worked out patient, I worked in patient.
I worked literally every union possible. I spent by two
t about half of my career working with that. Lessons
and teens, that's my specialty right there, and parents and stuff,
(00:45):
right so I work on that to actually make sure
that's his next generation to have tools and strategies.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
So they can actually leave. And so.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
If you like to show guys put give me a
five star, maybe a six, that is great too. That's great.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And if you know a parent who's actually doing with
some issues and.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You have some topics that you want to me to
talk about, let me know and I'll actually cover them
inside my next episodes.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
That's fine as well.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
My morning outcomes and get parents to listen to what's
going on because in this day and age as a parent,
you guys don't have that many tools and strategies. They
have all love stuff on the internet, but it's not
some tools and strategies that you need. So I carry
with myself of thirty eight years of clinical experience, author
of a book called Connecting with Your Team I am.
I am an international bestselling author. I've been doing family
(01:36):
programs for.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
The last thirty eight years.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Also we have to do we have a free download
for twenty two minutes if you go on the link.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
It's on the put down articles.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Books and everything else you guys can get down that
that's free of charge.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We do also have books as well.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So just trying to get my name out there a
little bit more so and trying to teach you guys
to actually some tools, some I see some strategies and stuff. Right,
So let me actually start this beautiful program that's gonna
be interesting one right because the topic is bit new
for me. And I tell you why, social media and
mental health. This is the name of this name of
(02:16):
the program. The reason why I say that is back
when I was going to high school, we didn't even
have computers. I know, that's only forty years ago. It's
pretty sad, right, we didn't have computers. I use the
word processor. We didn't have other computers until maybe after
college eighties, nineties, late eighties, early nineties, I know, but
(02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't know when computers even got it. And the internet.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We used to have MySpace and that's all we had
was just a MySpace account. Well, this day and age, man,
these kids have everything from the snapchat thing to Instagram.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Of course, most business people use LinkedIn, right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
TikTok now, I mean they got literally everything right. So
here's what my theory is. Right, So every morning, right, ah,
most mornings. I'm not gonna say every right, a lot
of mornings I was that millions of people wake up,
they grab their phone, checked Instagram, check out, snap chatting,
(03:20):
but you fourther you even say good morning to their spouse,
to kids, social media has become the world's most powerful right,
just down, guys, powerful drugs, one scroll at a time,
(03:41):
I said.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Then, when I was growing up, we didn't have this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, we played outside, we knew how, we knew
how to interact with people. We can talk. Now they
even have day, naps up online. They swipe, you know,
left and right right. That's pretty much about it, and
that's their world. I can't imagine being a young child
right now and fifteen sixteen years old in this social
(04:06):
media world. Back when we're g growing up forty years ago,
when I was a kid, we didn't have any of
this self. I'm I'm so happy that we didn't have
this self.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Cause think about it, every kid is her own TV station.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You can videotape anybody posted up good, bad, less and difference,
and the pressing is exposed.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
But how much pressure do you think it's on your
kids now to be cool? What they do in in
uh Instagram?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I met this one girl and she had like to
live the Louis Vatons and the barking bags who nine
yards and and she wanted to to have coaching with me.
I said, that's not a problem. Found out she didn't
have any of that self. You know, she took pictures
of it. She made her life look so great. And
see that's the ch and that's the challenge, right our
(04:53):
kids see this grateful life that these people are living.
They're happy, they're smiling, they're living their best life ever.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But here's a question I have is how do we
know that we don't? So let me tell you a story.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Right last week I spoke with this little young girl,
a cute little girl, athletic girl, sixteen years old.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Mom and dad came in.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
She had a GPA of four point zero, she had
a scholarship for soccer. Family was supportive and so nice.
But she told me something that was like really shocking.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
She's a doctor. Oda, I feel like I'm not good enough.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Everyone online looked more happier, prettier than me, more successful
than me. Her mental health was being hijacked by a screen.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That says, let's car Betty. That said, Betty, how do
you know these people are real? Do you know that
all this stuff is okay with them? How do you
know that it's not just a facade they're just making
stuff up just to make themselves feel good.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How do you know it's not followship? How do you
know any of these stuff?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
We don't what we see it, I said at what
happens is you see the outside of a person, but
you don't know. You don't know what's going on inside.
You don't know what's taking place with them. You know,
I says, and and I says, you don't feel like
you good enough? Yes, t a student, you got a scholarship,
(06:34):
you gotna go to a freaking bend Dame, you got
scholarships and nod Dain, Yell, Harvard, all these big ivy schools,
and you don't think you're good enough. So here's what
I asked you. I said it have you Have you
looked in the mirror? She said, I don't look in
the mirror. I put on my makeup, put them I'm there.
(06:56):
I said, how do you think you look?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
She said? From one to ten? A two?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I said, wow, interesting? I said, what do you think?
I said, can I?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So? Can I rate you? She said, well, doctor, order
you just gonna be nice, because you're going to be nice.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I said no, I said, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I'm not gonna lie. I said.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
From A one to ten, I said, you're beautiful, insight
out you're I said, you're eight or nine?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Easy? She said no, ten. I said, we can har improve.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But can you imagine a young girl sixteen have her life.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
All ahead of her?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
She compare herself with the screen on Snap, Instagram, ticktok
and these people look happier than are having fun. So
who question for you? Your kids action all this TikTok
(08:02):
and Instagram? Are you asking them what's going on in
their lives? Are you asking them questions? Or you just
having them take their time on the social media? Hope
to God that they come up. Okay, here's Meachers have
shown teens spend three plus hours per day on social media.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Let's go backwards. Parents, listen to me your tear.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Just spend on the average of three plus hours on
social media. Their most twice as likely to struggle from
anxiety and depression.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
But it's just not teens talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
CEOs compare their business as someone knows that has highlight
or they got rails. Parents compare their family vacations. We're
drawn in comparison. Why why do you compare? Why do
you have to keep up with the jones is? Why
do you have to act like that you're better than X,
(09:11):
Y and Z but yourself so not just teams spend
three hours. CEOs compare themselves to other companies. Well, why
s he's so big and I'm not. Parents compare themselves. Hey,
they went to bio lead. We didn't go to bile
then I can't put nothing up on social media.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What type of thinking is that solution?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Here's the truth. Social media isn't a problem. That isn't
the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Our relationship with.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Social media, that's what's the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
When you reframe it as a tool.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Not a drug, you reclaim your power, use it to connect,
to inspire, to grow, not to compare. That's why people
are going social media all the time. I see people
in the ferraris, in our stages, and I I pray
(10:16):
for them, said, man, more power to.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You, bless you. I don't compare myself.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Because my theory is I demand more from myself than
anyone can ever expect. I don't wanna compare myself to
anybody else. I got buddies of mine. They wanna compare
themselves to X, Y and Z. They're making an uh
a couple hundred to a half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
A year, And I said that's not bad. I said,
you're gonna compare yourself.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Compare yourself to Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezil, someone's
making the billions.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who got the B Club?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Which is very fulible Why they think different, they act differently.
Are you asking you to k kids open in questions.
What's taking place? So let's go backwards. Okay, so we
can go I'll be in the same page. Alright, we're
gonna hit down the six logical steps of MP. That's
(11:13):
Neil Linguistic Programming. I created a program called Neurow Family Conditioning. Right,
So here's the first thing that we need to understand.
What are your kids environment? Is their environment going on
social media for three hours a day, comparing themselves, be
an envy, trying to dress like the trends, try to
do a little of TikTok dances. I mean, what are
(11:35):
their environment? N Step number two? What are their behaviors?
What are they doing and what do they avoid doing? Well,
most of 'em probably avoid doing school work cause it's
much more cooler to be on social media. W number three.
(12:02):
Step number three what are their capabilities, skills and strategies. Now,
this girl who's sixteen, man, she gotta going on four
point er average. You know, she got schlarship from sports
Bravo on all four counts.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How about everybody else? How you do things?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Abilities, skills and strategies? What skills do you need today
to put social media on? So three hours a day.
Maybe you can knock down to two hours, then knock
it down a hour and a half, then the hour,
then the hour, and then thirty minutes, then fifteen. They
(12:43):
just go on there for business or your social posts.
My next step number four, what is your belief systems
and your values? Do you believe that you need social media?
(13:03):
Most kids think so, most parents think so. They'school forever.
What's your identity? Dandy dictates your life? I remember I
was a kid. They told me I was retarded and
never graduated eighth grade cause I started.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That was their identity of me.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That was not my I dentity of of myself. My
dentity was I I'm s such a genius. My brain
works so so quickly. Sometimes I start, but I'm not retarded?
What's your identity? Who are you? How do you see yourself?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Last? Not all these guys? Number six? What's your purpose?
It's that you all see vision miss what all these
things right? It's something just something to think about.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Because what you need to do with with with those
six logical steps is change them for your family. And
now they're gonna get eating up alive. By comparison, I
see people at you know, at the gym.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That I go to.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They comparison themselves on vacations and who went to the
top vacation spots the next one. And you're gonna look
at this stuff. I'm like, oh my god, really interesting
and closing you guys, social media is stealing your joy.
It's time to break the pattern and up the pattern.
(14:47):
And if you want help rewiring your brain to success,
that's what I do. Your mental health is worth more
than likes powers. And remember the most important person.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You need to follow, you need to love, you need
to become, it's yourself. So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Thank you so much for listening to to this passes
around to your family and family friend menus.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Who need this.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And well, if you're in business, we do a business
program called the Doctor Johnal the Method. We talk about
business strategies and business and everything about business.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, same time, six o'clock.
But you Donna I used to do you can I
she just looks as you do the repeat and download
it and listen to it.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
CEOs compare their business as someone knows that has highlight
or they got rails. Parents compare their family vacations. We're
drawn in comparison. Why why do you compare? Why do
you have to keep up with the jones is? Why
do you have to act like that you're better than X,
(09:11):
Y and Z but yourself so not just teams spend
three hours. CEOs compare themselves to other companies. Well, why
s he's so big and I'm not. Parents compare themselves. Hey,
they went to bio lead. We didn't go to bile
then I can't put nothing up on social media.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What type of thinking is that solution?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Here's the truth. Social media isn't a problem. That isn't
the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Our relationship with.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Social media, that's what's the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
When you reframe it as a tool.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Not a drug, you reclaim your power, use it to connect,
to inspire, to grow, not to compare. That's why people
are going social media all the time. I see people
in the ferraris, in our stages, and I I pray
(10:16):
for them, said, man, more power to.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You, bless you. I don't compare myself.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Because my theory is I demand more from myself than
anyone can ever expect. I don't wanna compare myself to
anybody else. I got buddies of mine. They wanna compare
themselves to X, Y and Z. They're making an uh
a couple hundred to a half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
A year, And I said that's not bad. I said,
you're gonna compare yourself.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Compare yourself to Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezil, someone's
making the billions.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who got the B Club?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Which is very fulible Why they think different, they act differently.
Are you asking you to k kids open in questions.
What's taking place? So let's go backwards. Okay, so we
can go I'll be in the same page. Alright, we're
gonna hit down the six logical steps of MP. That's
(11:13):
Neil Linguistic Programming. I created a program called Neurow Family Conditioning. Right,
So here's the first thing that we need to understand.
What are your kids environment? Is their environment going on
social media for three hours a day, comparing themselves, be
an envy, trying to dress like the trends, try to
do a little of TikTok dances. I mean, what are
(11:35):
their environment? N Step number two? What are their behaviors?
What are they doing and what do they avoid doing? Well,
most of 'em probably avoid doing school work cause it's
much more cooler to be on social media. W number three.
(12:02):
Step number three what are their capabilities, skills and strategies. Now,
this girl who's sixteen, man, she gotta going on four
point er average. You know, she got schlarship from sports
Bravo on all four counts.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How about everybody else? How you do things?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Abilities, skills and strategies? What skills do you need today
to put social media on? So three hours a day.
Maybe you can knock down to two hours, then knock
it down a hour and a half, then the hour,
then the hour, and then thirty minutes, then fifteen. They
(12:43):
just go on there for business or your social posts.
My next step number four, what is your belief systems
and your values? Do you believe that you need social media?
(13:03):
Most kids think so, most parents think so. They'school forever.
What's your identity? Dandy dictates your life? I remember I
was a kid. They told me I was retarded and
never graduated eighth grade cause I started.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That was their identity of me.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That was not my I dentity of of myself. My
dentity was I I'm s such a genius. My brain
works so so quickly. Sometimes I start, but I'm not retarded?
What's your identity? Who are you? How do you see yourself?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Last? Not all these guys? Number six? What's your purpose?
It's that you all see vision miss what all these
things right? It's something just something to think about.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Because what you need to do with with with those
six logical steps is change them for your family. And
now they're gonna get eating up alive. By comparison, I
see people at you know, at the gym.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That I go to.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They comparison themselves on vacations and who went to the
top vacation spots the next one. And you're gonna look
at this stuff. I'm like, oh my god, really interesting
and closing you guys, social media is stealing your joy.
It's time to break the pattern and up the pattern.
(14:47):
And if you want help rewiring your brain to success,
that's what I do. Your mental health is worth more
than likes powers. And remember the most important person.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You need to follow, you need to love, you need
to become, it's yourself. So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Thank you so much for listening to to this passes
around to your family and family friend menus.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Who need this.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And well, if you're in business, we do a business
program called the Doctor Johnal the Method. We talk about
business strategies and business and everything about business.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
