WHAT ALL BOY MOMS SHOULD KNOW RAISING GOOD BOYS👩‍👦

Things to raise a respectful Son💓

Years of research on families and parenting have shown me how successful moms raise self-assured and caring sons by nurturing their boy power—the artful combination of physicality and sensitivity to others\" needs and feelings. 

So, I’m going to share to all of you these 4 things how to raise a respectful man. 

To help your son grow up with confidence and respect for others:

1. HELP HIM DEVELOP A STRONG SENSE OF WELL-BEING AND SENSITIVITY TO THE NEEDS AND FEELING OF OTHERS💖

Talk and talk and talk with (not at) your son, and then talk some more. As boys discover they are worthy of respect and understanding, they learn to respect and empathize with others. Encourage your son to recognize how he feels and show it, whether the feeling is good or bad. Talk with him about what may be making him feel that way. Learning about his own feelings can help your son connect with others and develop into a caring, sensitive man. Boys tend to shy away from face-to-face discussions. Connect with him in any way you can, anywhere you can. Use toys to prompt discussion. One mom uses puppets with her young son to talk about events in their lives. Initiate conversations in the car, on the football field or in the kitchen while cooking together.  

Listen to what your son tells you—or doesn\"t tell you. Look for messages even in silence or outbursts. Listening—not just to the words, but to the feelings behind them—can reveal the kind of mothering your son needs to help him become a man.  

2.FOSTER HIS RESPECT FOR OTHERS. ✊ 

Respect for ourselves feeds our respect for others. So accept who he is, instead of trying to mold him into your vision of what you think he should be. You can encourage him to be responsible to himself by helping him set his own goals and expectations, and then live up to them. He will also learn responsibility to others by doing his share of household chores and other age-appropriate duties.

Establish clear guidelines for behavior and expectations for how family members and others are treated. Helping your son relate well to family and friends will help him become a reflective, conscious, centered adult with a strong sense of identity and moral fiber.Things to raise a respectful Son
