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.

A treasure and gift!

Just what I needed...and didn't even know it. It imparts wisdom, as it includes both knowledge and application. I can do this!

Excellent!

All moms of boys should read this book. I wish I had know about and read it when my boys were little. Now they are teenagers and it is still a perfect read for me at this stage of their lives. I’ve listened to it twice and plan to listen to it again in a few months.

So helpful, so life-giving!

Boldly written and greatly needed and appreciated! Thankful for the teaching, encouragement, rebuke and love. Shepherding is not an easy calling but a life saving, life giving one, so I greatly admire your courage to be a voice that needs to be heard for the sake of many souls.

Life changing

Women….don’t get offended….keep listening. After just 2 weeks of introducing these concepts with my two sons (ages 6 & 8) I’m feeling all the love from them again. Can’t wait to challenge myself as they grow up to continue showing them respect!

Great book to heal your relationships

This book literally changed my life over night. I immediately implemented what I learned about respect talk toward the men and boys in my life (my husband and 5 sons). By far this is the greatest gift I have received and bestowed. My perspective has completely changed for the better, so has my behavior and consequently my relationships with my husband and boys. I am beyond grateful that I stumbled upon this book and the author; he will never know that he completely improved my family. I highly recommend this book and plan to read his others. My son relationships have never been stronger or better and I feel so much more confident in releasing my sons into the world as men and husbands whereas before I was scared of that and also completely failed them to be able to fly. I was a hover parent and tried to control everything. Now I have peace and joy and assurance.

Must Read

I have 2 boys 16 and 24. I wish so could have read this much earlier. I honestly did not understand that boys need respect too. Dr. Emerson explains why and ties God’s word to it. It’s never too late!
