It\\u2019s not a magic formula. But almost.

\\n

This week\\u2019s guest is Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (New York Times Best Selling author of \\u201cLove & Respect\\u201d). He has opened my eyes to the high value of respect with boys & men with his newest book, \\u201cMother and Son: The Respect Effect**\\u201d. \\u2018Game changer.

With this new \\u201crespect effect\\u201d perspective, interactions with my\\xa0boys have changed.\\xa0Before a word comes out of my mouth I\\u2019m evaluating if the tone is positive\\xa0and the correction is focused on the behavior and not the person.\\xa0I\\u2019ve also noticed how I alter what I say when helping them get along with one another (e.g., \\u201cAre you respecting your brother when you take the toy he is playing with?\\u201d).

\\n

I know, I know. A few weeks ago I published a parenting boys episode. I\\xa0promise\\xa0an\\xa0interview with Sissy Goff is in the works, to help moms with girls\\xa0(she leads a camp all summer. . .so we\\u2019ll be chatting in the Fall). But just like with\\xa0the other parenting boys episode,\\xa0whether you have sons or daughters, after listening you will\\xa0understand your husband better. That\\u2019s a very good thing.

\\n

And I know, I know, I share several books on the podcast. Each of my guests is selected with a lot of\\xa0thought and consideration. Deciding to only introduce you to books that I would want to read myself. But\\xa0this book\\xa0sits at\\xa0the top of the summer reading list. Seriously. (Just ask all my friends which book they see me toting around and talking about this month \\U0001f609 ).

\\n What we chat about:
  • How the popular \\u201cLove & Respect\\u201d message applies to mother & son relationships.
  • Recognizing that honor motivates men (and our boys).
  • How teen girls respond differently than teen boys to a mom\\u2019s critique.
  • A great definition of \\u201crespect\\u201d.
  • How to hold boundaries with our boys, but still respect their spirits.
  • A specific example of how to apply \\u201crespect talk\\u201d with your boys.
  • How this respect effect can be applied by teachers in the classroom.
  • Using the acronym \\u201cCHAIRS\\u201d to identify areas you can use respect talk.
  • How it\\u2019s never to late to start.
