Publisher's 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.

I have loved this!

I started it before Christmas and started using more respect talk with my 5 yo son. I have heard more "I love yous" in the past month than ever. As I have learned to feed this need in several different ways, my needs have been more met as well! Thank you for this very simple concept explained so well! I hope I will continue this my who life with my sons and husband and continue to watch our relationships flourish!

game changer

so many good examples and helps makes complete sense now that I have a better understanding of how my son (and my husband) think. I will have to go back and listen again and keep practicing using the words I know my boys understand. the hardest part will be for me to just be quiet, but I'm looking forward to being more present with them.

Mom of 4 boys

I highly recommend this to to any woman! Especially mom’s of boys! It gave me so much insight on how my boys think. This book is full of great wisdom. I plan on listening to it again and again to make sure I absorbed all I need to raise confident young men!

Just what I needed

I literally prayed for guidance to raise my 12 year old son. I was guided to this book. I know respect for males is important, however this book with its biblical references, made it clearer. Thank you.

Exactly what I needed

I needed to hear the majority of this book as I feel the same, my 14 year old is not my baby boy anymore… so now I have to grow up in my love and respect for him!
