Hi John
If you’re a mother with a son, you may often wonder what he is thinking — and how to communicate with him. A key insight is that the words you use, and how you say them, can significantly impact how your son perceives and receives them. He’s more apt to respond if he hears — and truly feels — that he’s respected.
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs’ pioneering work in the field of family relationships has helped millions of people better understand the biblical “respect and love” dynamic between male and female. That balance can be transformational for a marriage — but it also applies between parents and children of the opposite sex.
Dr. Eggerichs has applied and expanded these principles in his book Mother and Son: The Respect Effect. For moms, the first step is to adjust your vocabulary to emphasize how much you value your son even when you’re trying to encourage a behavioral adjustment. Dr. Eggerichs shows you how to do that — and much more — in Mother and Son; we’d be happy to send you a copy for a donation of any amount.
If we can be of assistance to you in relation to these topics, please don’t hesitate to let us know — we’re here to help.
