Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Love & Respect comes the definitive book for mothers and sons. Love is important, but it is respect that is the key to your son’s heart.

Dads and their boys are often best buddies. But what's the key to a successful and healthy mother-son bond? Informed by relevant scripture and up-to-date psychological research, Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D., explores this foundational relationship to show how loving and respecting your little boy can help him grow into a mature, responsible, and godly man.

The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound strange to some. It's easy to recognize that little girls need dad’s love, but who is strongly promoting the truth that little boys (and big ones) need mom's respect?

In Mothers & Sons: The Respect Effect, listeners will discover:

  • Why respect matters in a mother-son relationship
  • A method based on the testimonies of thousands of mothers
  • Specific responses that can be given instead of how you would “normally” respond
  • Practical applications, especially for parenting teen boys

Just as Emerson Eggerichs transformed millions of marital relationships with a biblical understanding of love and respect, you can apply these same principles to transform your relationship with your son.

Mother & Son is also available in Spanish, Madre e hijo.

Awesome; best advice to my life so far

Best advice for my life since I read Love and respect in the marriage.

I have two sons only the ages of 3 and just under 2. I have immediately started to try to decode and listen extra carefully to what they want and desire from me when they say and do certain things.

It has helped me to learn how to balance love and respect between us. Both boys are really different, the oldest is smart and very artistic and analytical and logical. And the younger is very physically strong, tender hearted and a great singer and also very understanding. And that's why(and also because they are under 4y.o.) I need to balance them because they are young and definitely still want the love and affection but I can see when they are displaying their strength, physical abilities and what they are able to do, I hear them looking for my appreciation and respect. so I often answer them like so, "Wow, I respect your patients in drawing and doing crafts, it's amazing how much time and effort you put into them to make sure you make them good."
or "It's so amazing to me that you are so strong and that you put effort into becoming stronger. I really appreciate that about you, because I can rely on you to protect me."

At this point I don't get as many chances to practice respect talk because they are toddlers. But I am so grateful that I have all this time to practice and I'm already getting so much better with my husband, so that helps in making me a pro.

I want to get extremely good at this and make sure my boys will know without a doubt that I adore and admire and respect them SOOOOOOOOO much! :)
