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. *Createyou86 received this product free of charge in hopes that we would review it on our blog.

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.

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.

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.
