During his conversation with Dr. Berman, Cannon delves deeper into the role of a father and the complex dynamics of childhood experiences.
“Oh, the presence of a father and how much they need you and the Freudian aspect of going back to your childhood trauma, or lack thereof,” she says. “Nature versus nurture. This is a conversation I have several times a day.”
Intrigued by his views, Dr. Berman asked if he was engaging in this conversation “with the naysayers or with the mother?”

The “Masked Singer” host explained, “Well, not a naysayer, but I’m like, I’m living, whether it’s in therapy myself or just wanting to make sure every kid has what they need, developmentally. And emotionally. I am studying the brain and at what point the senses are important.”

I had the opportunity to speak at the virtual ceremony; Masters and Ph.D. is next! #HU2020.”

During the chat, Cannon also openly discussed his vision for his blended family and the importance of fostering relationships between his children.
Curious about his aspirations, Dr. Berman asks, “In your dream world, regardless of whether you are romantically involved or not romantically involved with mom, all of your children will know each other. All your children will come together, go on trips together or go out together,”
“They’re all Cannons,” the father of 12 insists, “They’ll probably go to the same school.”

However, Cannon admits that bringing all his children together has its challenges, as he respects that it may not be “everyone’s desire” at this time. “I think we will get there. One of the things I’ve seen from some of my parents in the game, when kids reach the age to make their own decisions, it’s going to happen,” he said, per People magazine.
She continued, “Because they are under their mother’s authority, I try to play by mom’s rules. But when they can make their own decisions, I hope and pray that we can have a strong enough relationship that they want to hang out with me.”
