Book Review: Mother & Son The Respect Effect

6/5/2016

Welcome to another book review here at Createyou86. This book was interesting for me to read because it is all about boys becoming men, and how mother's may have more trouble raising boys than girls because well....we are girls, and we understand them better.
​Not yet being a mother myself i got some great insight from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. I agree, and disagree with Dr. Eggerichs method. He believes that while showing love is important to a son, showing him respect is the key to his heart, and is what will transform the mother, and son relatioship.
I agree that mother's should show their children respect regardless of gender, but the children should also be first, and foremost respectful of the parent who not only gave them life, but is raising them in their household, with their money, under their roof, and providing for them anything that they might need (in most cases).
The first chapter of this book is full of mother's stories about how they have connected with their father's, and how the mother doesn't feel the connection because she connects better with her daughter. This book explains how listening, and having an interest in your son's life through mutual respect can help build the mother, and son bond.
I woud recommend this book to anyone mother or father who might be struggling to understand their young boy, or who wants to build a greater parental bond.

I have a daughter and a son, so I do understand that mysterious gap in my bond with him as opposed to the natural and seemingly effortless connection he has with daddy. I do also agree with you that children must absolutely respect their parents, first and foremost. I think what the author might be trying to say is to be aware of how valuable respect is to a boy versus a daughter. I can be a bit of a goofball sometimes, and if I'm not careful, I could end up laughing at my son when something strikes me as funny, but it might actually humiliate him. Sounds like a good read. Thank for the review.

Laura,
Thanks for stopping by. I wholeheartedly agree with you, and working at a daycare it is much easier as a woman to bond with girls more than boys as well!

This is so interesting to me. When I worked in childcare, I was always more bonded with the boys than the girls. Not to the point of being unfair or anything but I definitely didn't have a problem connecting with them. Now, as the mom of two boys, I am actually most concerned about what I would do if I had a girl! Sounds like a great read for those who struggle with their relationship... and I suppose only time will tell for me, my sons are still young.

Lauren,
Thanks for stopping by. There is actually a little boy that connected with me on his first day, and follows me around like a shadow (crawling -infant room), and there are several others whom I adore!

This looks like something I would like to read. I love my mother to the core and absolutely love the way she has raised me. I cannot describe it ever.

Sujal,
Thanks for stopping by. What a perfect way to describe how a mother raises a child. I think it would be a great blog topic to explore!

I have a son too, but he's still just a little guy. I've never looked at that connection in this way before. It'll be interesting as he grows, how our relationship develops, and how much different our connection will be than my daughters! ~ Victoria

Victoria,
Thanks for stopping by. I was raised different than this book suggests so it was very different for me to look at as well. I think it would be a really great blog post for you to explore :)
