Dr. John H. Braccio talks with Dave Akerly on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 2/1/17 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan mersin escort bayan about GOING TO EVENTS AND TAKING TRIPS TOGETHER WITH FAMILY MEMBERS WILL DEVELOP A BOND. They agree that family events and trips need to be with family members so they can bond and develop the types of rituals, customs, events, memories, and experiences that create a long lasting family bond where experiences and stories carry over time and develop a family history that endures even as different segments of the family branch off over the generations. Dr. Braccio explains how many patients over the years have come into his offices and say they have lost good communication with their children because peers have become far more influential. In many cases, this is because parents did not do things as a family when children were growing up or when they did, they often had friends on family vacations and outings which impeded the family bonding into a warm lifelong relationship. Sometimes they feel it is easier to parent when the children are entertained by friends. The resulting bonding problems that can develop can be seen in family dysfunction throughout the country. On a lighter note, Dr. Braccio says he will be a VIP Grandparent on Friday, February 3, 2017 at St. Mary’s School in Royal Oak where his grandson Luke is in kindergarten. It will be great fun and a good family bonding event.

Dr. John H.

The lack of fathers in the lives of many millions of children in our country is a national tragedy if not a disgrace. While not disparaging single mothers or blended families, Dr. Braccio states his belief that an effective father is very important for the social, intellectual, academic, moral, self-esteem, and sexual identity development of both boys and girls. The breakdown of the nuclear family without fathers over the past fifty years has resulted in many aimless youth without education and resulting career opportunities. We see the result of fatherless homes with so many unsocialized males who lack a father and/or strong male role model. The relationship of children with their father can strongly determine the success of their future relationships with all persons. This can be particularly helpful with the opposite sex where divorce is an epidemic

In a confusing contemporary world with so much pressure on our children to think in certain ways, parents have a tough time staying on the same page as their children. Add to that, the guilt children can feel for not doing what their parents want makes things even more dicey. Excessive punishments can lead to choosing to lie in a percentage game of getting caught or not. Parents need to model honesty in an open manner so the children understand the importance of telling the truth. Children, as adults, need to understand persons who lie demonstrate a person who cannot be trusted and this will predictably destroy or greatly damage any relationship with people now or in the future. Praising honesty can be a good motivation to have it become part of their personality. Reasonable punishments for lying will help decrease them while severe punishment can lead to more lying to avoid it in a self-defeating circle of deception.

Dr. John H. Braccio talks with Dave Akerly on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 1/10/17 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan about HOW TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN THAT TRYING BUT NOT ALWAYS SUCCEEDING IN MEETING mersin anamur escort bayanları A GOOD MORAL CODE IS FAR BETTER THAN THINKING RIGHT AND WRONG ARE RELATIVE AND ALWAYS SUBJECT TO ONE’S OWN VIEWS. This segment is a follow-up to last week’s segment on how parents need to teach their children tolerance. The key point discussed is the importance of teaching our children a moral code and not causing guilt if they fail to live up to it, as we all do at times. The moral code is basically a code to help a person to develop the type of character to be a good human being who helps others as best he or she can. The danger today when many children do not have strong family and/or community support is that a person can develop a relative moral code where right or wrong depends on the situation. The worst result is the development of the Antisocial Personality Disorder where the person has no sense of right or wrong and has no conscience.

One need not be a Christian to recognize the wonder and joy that Jesus means to millions of people throughout the world. That Christians are often not like Jesus does not negate from the goodness of someone who gave us the golden rule: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. It is important for all of us Christian and non-Christian alike, that this is not a day of gifts but a major religious holiday. It is also not disrespectful to other religious groups to passionately celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This would be true even if Christmas were not a national holiday in a country overwhelmingly Christian. This also is a time to be kind to others in emotional need who are alone and need support.

Dr. Braccio remembers reading some years ago that Abraham Lincoln said a nation needs heroes.

For personal examples, both Dave and Dr. Braccio say their fathers were both a model and hero for them. They both say they were great guys who always had their backs. The hero need not be a great political or sports person.

Dr. John H.

These are confusing times in our country. An argument said about millennials is that they are too often entitled, opinionated, have trouble working as a team, and waiting their turns for promotions in regular bureaucracies. If that if partially true, it could explain why so many young people are having trouble accepting the honestly shocking election of President-Elect Trump. That many adults are having the same problem more predictably relates to grief relating to accepting a huge unexpected political loss taken very personally. Regardless of the cause, as legitimate as one might have, President Ronald Reagan noted the differences between political parties were small in a democracy as compared to totalitarian states where the only way is that of the dictator or ruling oligarchy. The responsibility of all of us is to try to make our president be successful and prepare for the next election to vote if we approve or disagree of the direction of our country. I must add I am still amazed that Secretary Hillary Clinton lost the election.

A positive thing to do is for all of us to try to be a unified country and not balkanize into separate warring groups.

There seems to be silifke escort ilanları a lot of speculation about this at present. The following are a few possibilities: RETURN TO THE SPLENDID LIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE. CONTINUE TO GROW HIS REAL ESTATE EMPIRE. RETURN TO REALITY TV. BECOME A MEDIA MOGUL WITH THE HELP OF ROGER AILES AND OTHERS (As an aside, I believe this appears very likely). START A THOUSAND LAW SUITS TO GET EVEN WITH GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHERS HE FEELS HAVE LIED ABOUT HIM AND DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED PUBLICLY. DEVELOP HIS OWN POLITICAL PARTY. He also could do more than one of the above. From a psychological perspective, Donald Trump might be enormously happier losing this election and being in full control of what he does. One thing is for sure, whether Donald Trump wins or loses, we have not seen the last of him. Dave jokes that we are playing some modern day Nostradamus

One improvement would be behaviors and words by all politicians made for the next generation and not the next election.
