TMB Episode 36: Deciding Wrong
As parents, many of us fear the day that our child approaches us with a dire statement. Whether it is one to suggest that he/she wants to hurt him/herself, that he/she is using drugs, or that he/she is leaving and does not plan on returning, we all dread the day when our child reaches a point in their life where our ability to help is limited.

TMB Episode 34: Six Students with Inattention
In 1961, a now famous article was written in a journal called The Lancet. In the article, the author – a London-based pediatrician – wrote about six children with coughs. The purpose of the article was to help pediatricians-in-training understand the importance of appropriate diagnostic practices; after all, at that time in our history, a cough could have meant anything from allergies to tuberculosis.
In this podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard take a similar approach to a modern day concern – inattention in schools. As was the case with coughs in 1961, inattention today can be caused by many different things and it is imperative that parents, teachers, and mental health professionals thoroughly explore the cause of the inattention. We are often eager to jump from symptom to treatment without first understanding the diagnostic underpinning of the issues. It is only through understanding WHY the student is inattentive that we will come to the most appropriate intervention.

TMB Episode 33: Happy Holidays
While the holidays can bring a lot of joy and happiness, it can also bring stress and frustration. When we wish someone a “Happy Holiday” – whether it is a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, or a Happy Chanukah – we tend to focus on the holiday specifically. That is, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Chanukah component of the greeting. Seldom do we focus on the well wishes for happiness.
What does it mean to be happy? What can you do to make your holidays, and every other day of your life happy?
In this podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard talk about what it means to be happy by reviewing the three components of happiness, and conversely, unhappiness.
- Places you go
- People you interact with
- Activities you do
If you can find a way to align these three things with your overall goals in life, you will find happiness. Listen to this podcast and find out how you can use these principles to have a truly happy holiday and happy life.
