Why boys need mothers

And if you are serious about it, you can make an effort to resolve the matters. But what if the very bond is dysfunctional?

A mother and son relationship is emotionally overwhelming. It is sensitive too. Shortcomings in the upbringing of the boy or unpleasant circumstances faced by the mother could mar the relationship. A boy expects similar treatment from everybody when he is a child. After he grows up, he might feel suffocated and would crave for freedom from the clutches of his mother.

This results in cracks in the bond. A mother-son relationship is delicate. As long as it is going smooth, the boy can flourish under the care of his mother, but when trouble seeps in, both need to make an effort to fill the gaps.

A man who treats his woman like a princess is proof that he has been born and raised in the arms of a queen. Despite the varying dynamics in the mother-son relationship, the bond calls for celebration and is one that is unmatched.

Do you have anything to say about the mother-son relationship? Selflessness, courage, kindness, respect, honesty, and many other qualities all stem from humility. Guilt should never be a motivation to get your child to do something you want. Humility is learning that in this life, we will experience more joy when we put others before ourselves.

It is freedom from pride or arrogance. It is accepting your circumstances, no-matter-what. If you try and control what your son likes or dislikes, it will only push him away. Encourage your son to work through his feelings and emotions in a healthy and creative way. A lot of mothers are seeing the effects of our dark world and freaking out.

I know, because I do it, too. Instead of reacting to society and culture heading in a downward spiral with becoming more protective, we need to rise above and take action tactfully. They will most likely rebel at some point in their life. But the height to which they rebel, can depend entirely on your reaction to it. Too many in my generation have fallen away from their faith for many reasons, one of them being legalism.

The action of living out their faith is an adult event. The decision of salvation is a monumental decision in their life, and whether they do that when they are 5, or 10, they will not be able to comprehend the extent and depth of their faith until they are older. This is why nurturing their faith at an appropriate age, with appropriate measures, will make all the difference for their future choice to follow Jesus.

Whatever this looks like for you, make sure that fostering their spiritual life is not forceful, but nurturing. One way we can do this is by modeling our faith. Our children watch us with open eyes. Here are a few ways you can implement spiritual direction for their life, without forcing it.

One thing that we are trying to implement in our bedtime routine for our 8-year-old, is talking about the good and hard things that happened that day, as well as what we are thankful for. This puts their mind towards positive thinking, and then prayer follows with gratitude towards God for the good, and acceptance for the hard. The harder boys and men cling to these norms, the less likely they are to seek help for their emotional or physical problems, and the more likely they are to engage in heavy drinking, smoking and other risky activities.

These men also tend to be lonely and disdainful of others. These issues aren't new. Even ten years ago, headlines trumpeted that boys were failing: falling behind girls in academic achievement, suffering from more mental illness, succumbing to drug abuse, and getting into more trouble.

While I was raising my kids, I became aware of a double standard on parental influence. Dads were supposed to be important role models and close to their sons.

Paul and his father made fire pits, watched games, went to sporting events — you know, guy stuff. Fathers were also considered crucial for their daughters' self-esteem.

What a lucky girl. As for moms? Sure, we can be close with our daughters and stay that way. No one expects us to pull back from our girls.

They teach them to be open, sensitive to their surroundings, and the feelings of others. Being communicative or expressive helps them enhance their writing and reading skills and that helps them excel in life.

Whatever people say, a man will always compare any woman to his mother. Although every mom wants a good, close relationship with her son, she also teaches him and prepares him to be a good companion and husband. She will also teach him to be responsible and compassionate, and most of all independent of her. Boys learn how to respect women from their mother.

Moms are also most often the ones who teach their children to have good manners and show respect to their elders and others in general. Men who are close to their moms know that they can call and talk to her, and whether or not she can offer a solution, she will make him feel better by listening and giving him the confidence he needs to take on whatever lies ahead.
