I love this book! It's just what I needed to help me understand my little guy better. He just turned 9 and he is a great kid! I want to do my best as his mama but I don't always understand him or the kind of affirmation he needs. That's where this book comes in!
It's easy to relate to the need of all of us to feel a mother's love, but is that the same as our need for respect? Based on the insight that a mother's love is important but respect is the key to her son's heart, this book teaches what every mom needs to know, what every son needs to hear.
We all realize that little girls need their daddies' love, but no one is promoting the truth that little boys (and adult ones) need their moms' respect. So many things in this book ring so true to me! You'd think I'd have realized it, being the wife to my husband for 15 years--his greatest emotional need in our relationship has always been my respect just as mine has always been his love. When he feels like I don't respect him, he feels like he means less to me. Duh--my son is that way, too!
In Mother & Son, the author takes up the challenge, fills the void, and helps mothers to apply respect, no matter the age, no matter the former mistakes.
