About the Book:
A new book from W Publishing Group/HarperCollins asks you to consider
the all–important mother/son relationship in a new way: respect, as in the
mother should respect the son.
Dr.
Emerson Eggerichs, author of Love and Respect – a landmark book that
transformed millions of marital relationships – is launching his latest
book, Mother & Son: The
Respect Effect.
In Mother & Son, Dr.
Eggerichs proposes that while showing love is important to a son, showing
him respect is key to his heart, and what will transform the
mother/son relationship. Of course, to a lot of people, that will sound
backwards – shouldn’t it start with the son respecting the mother??
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the "meat" of the book. Admittedly, some of it went over my head but I believe it's a book that all boy moms can benefit from. He has amazing insight on what makes a man tick. How God designed each of us, both male and female, specifically to be two halves of the same coin. He explains that men are more respect driven while women are more love driven. I honestly had never considered that but as I was reading I started to think of my own two boys and their dad and I realized he was right! I'm curious to see how making a conscious effort to me more respectful in the way I communicate with them makes a difference. He also mentions respect when disciplining. I had a little trouble understanding this concept at first but as he explained it in more detail in made sense. My mom used to tell me "I love you too much to allow you to act this way" basically with Dr.Eggerichs approach you tell your son(s) "I respect you to much to allow you to act this way". It's mind boggling to think how much a little respect can change the whole mother/son relationship.
