What do I have to do, drive a nail through your head? Parental help.

I worked in medicine for 33 years. I know most of the secrets. I cover some of them in this podcast. I think it's good to know some of the in's and out's of the field. I put a lot of information in this one about hospitals and general medicine including how to pick a doctor and who really saves your life. I hope you enjoy it.

Another episode where I go on and on about parenting and my opinion of how it should be done. This one is about teenagers. So if you're having problems with yours, maybe this will help. I also go over some of the things your parents might have done to you and how you didn't like it then but you feel the need to do the same thing to your teenage. Not a good idea.
I hope you get something from today's episode.

Rewarding a child is more inportant than disiplining a child in the grand sceme of things. This show talks about rewarding children for a job well done in anything. If your one of those parents that sits on the sidelines and yells at there kid, you're gonna love this episode.

More tips on raising children and another explanation about the title of my podcast. I cover discipline in this episode. Again I raised 4 kids without much trouble. I'm not perfect, I make that obvious in the show. But I do have some great tips and tricks up my sleeve for dealing with the wild child. I hope you enjoy it.

I know right away that you’re wondering what the title of this podcast means. Well to put a short spin to it while my dad was teaching me how to drive, I kept blowing yellow lights. I had seen him do it all my life. Floor it and send all the kids in the backseat tumbling. 

On my first lesson my father had decided he wanted me to learn how to drive a stick shift first. I had driven many of my friend’s cars with stick shifts so it wasn’t a problem. The problem revolved around putting a 6’4” 260 lbs. Dad in the passenger seat and a 6’ 250 lbs. son in the driver’s seat of a1969 Volkswagen Beetle. It was like shoving 10 lbs. of potatoes in a 5-pound sack.

As I blew through 3 yellow lights in a row at the same speed he always did, he would yell some poetic words of wisdom at me. Something I was quite use too. On the third light he finally said the sentence above “What do I have to do, drive a nail through your head”? 

Now mind you I was 15 at the time. I’m 58 now. If you don’t think what you say to your kid’s won’t come back to haunt you, you badly mistaken.

We’ll cover lots of good parenting skills and if you have a funny story about your parents, I’d love to hear them.

By the way, My Wife and I raised 4 children, got them all through college, and now they are working in their chosen careers. She was really the warden in the house, I was just the enforcer. But remember this, we NEVER hit our kids. That’s the kind of thing that drives me crazy to see some over stressed mom dragging Owen by the arm and beating his ass at the same time because he went for the lucky charms box. (The nerve of some 3-year old’s). We’ll give you some valuable hints on how to stop hitting a 3-year-old and coming to your senses. 

I really think you’ll enjoy the podcast. I’m quite the story teller.

Ah yes, driving with your dad. The first in a series of fun times with parents of the 60's and 70's. My dad was a great guy. He would do anything for anybody. My Mom was that way too but their parenting skills were from the 18th century. My dad was ex-marine and believed that the rod was the most effective way to keep a kid in line. He didn't really use a rod, but his hand was like cement. My mom on the other hand had a yelling voice that could shatter glass and was like Clint Eastwood with a slipper or wooden spoon. Wooden spoons hurt almost as much as my dad's hand. She had her moments let me tell you. 
They raised kids using the methods my grandparents taught them. I was determined to stop that cycle and change things. After raising 4 fantastic kids, all with degrees and good jobs, and none of them giving me any serious problems I can honestly say that I win.
