About the Book:
A new book from W Publishing Group/Harper Collins 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??
Since the importance of the mother/son relationship crosses all age/race/religion barriers, this is a topic applicable to all – regardless if they agree or disagree with Dr. Eggerichs’ method.

My Thoughts:
Have you ever read something and then sat back and thought to yourself, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”
Why are the simplest concepts sometimes the hardest ones for us to grasp? We know that men grow up from little boys. Do we also think that when they turn 18 all of a sudden they start needing different things? No, the same things that make our men function are the things that make our little boys thrive! I can’t wait to put the practices in this book in motion in my own home and see how my relationships with my little men grow and improve!
I love when someone smarter than I points out how the simplest changes can create the biggest impact in my situations, and then proves it with stories of real change!
I love this quote by Sarah Eggerichs, ” As a mother, it is never too early and never too late to apply this message of respect. A boy is never too young and never too old.”
