Book excerpt: "Remarkable ... this extraordinary book helps mothers explore the challenges, frustration, pain and joy that are unique to raising sons." --Washington Post Book World A son's physical, emotional, and psychological development differs vastly from that of a daughter's -- and raising a son can pose unique challenges for a mother. With great clarity and sensitivity, this groundbreaking book from Dr. Evelyn Bassoff, acclaimed psychologist and author of Mothers and Daughters, explains how mothers can remain nurturing presences in their sons' lives throughout their many transitions. She details the important role a father plays in a son's growth, and how mothers can support and celebrate their sons' masculine energy -- whether it manifests itself in a love of playing football or playing piano. Dr. Bassoff also illuminates the varied demands of raising sons for married and single mothers, stepmothers, and mothers of gay sons. Drawing upon the best available research, as well as myths, legends, her experience raising her own son, and the personal stories of clients and friends, Dr. Bassoff offers an invaluable perspective on what mothers can do to insure that their sons become vital, loving men.

Download or read book Mothers and Sons written by Colm Toibin and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the internationally celebrated author of The Master, winner of the 2006 International Dublin Literary Award. Mothers and Sons is a deeply penetrating and beautifully written meditation on the dramas surrounding this most elemental of relationships. Each of the nine stories focuses on a moment in which an unspoken balance shifts; in which a mother or son do battle, or experience a sudden crisis, thus leaving their conception of who they are subtly or seriously altered. A son buries his mother and goes out to a drug-fuelled rave on a remote beach near Dublin. A mother sings about treacherous love to a rapt crowd of musicians in a local pub. And in “A Long Winter,” Colm Tóibín’s finest piece of fiction to date, a man goes searching for his mother in the snow-covered Pyrenees. Psychologically intricate and emotionally incisive, each finely wrought story teases out the delicate and difficult strands woven between mothers and sons. This is an acute, masterful, and moving collection that confirms Tóibín as a great prose stylist of our time.

From her son, a woman learns what it feels like to grow up in a male body. As his trusted adviser, teacher, and friend, she helps to shape his view of himself, of others, and of the world. She instills values and ideals that will stay with him throughout his life, and she has so many hopes and dreams for the man he will become. Because of her son, a mother's life will be more meaningful, her joys will be greater, and her heart will experience the greatest love imaginable. BOYS WILL BE BOYS! There are moments in a son's life when he tests his mother's resolve, as well as her patience, but the bond between them is unbreakable. She is his mirror for how he looks at the world and for how the world looks at him. As a child, he will turn to her for guidance, understanding, and support; as he grows older, he will do everything he can to protect and care for her. Though he may have difficulty putting his feelings into words, there is never any doubt of a son's respect, devotion, and incredible love for his mother. LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON. For all their obvious differences, there could never be two people more alike. Their time together is filled with unforgettable memories and immeasurable rewards. The tenderness and pride they feel toward each other can only be surpassed by the happiness they share. Theirs is a close and enduring relationship that only a mother and son can ever know... and a very special feeling of love that lives forever in their hearts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times best-selling author of Love & Respect comes the definitive book for mothers and sons. Love is important, but it is respect that is the key to your son’s heart. Dads and their boys are often best buddies. But what's the key to a successful and healthy mother-son bond? Informed by relevant scripture and up-to-date psychological research, Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D., explores this foundational relationship to show how loving and respecting your little boy can help him grow into a mature, responsible, and godly man. The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound strange to some. It's easy to recognize that little girls need dad’s love, but who is strongly promoting the truth that little boys (and big ones) need mom's respect? In Mothers & Sons: The Respect Effect, readers will discover: Why respect matters in a mother-son relationship A method based on the testimonies of thousands of mothers Specific responses that can be given instead of how you would “normally” respond Practical applications, especially for parenting teen boys Just as Emerson Eggerichs transformed millions of marital relationships with a biblical understanding of love and respect, you can apply these same principles to transform your relationship with your son. Mother & Son is also available in Spanish, Madre e hijo.

Download or read book Mothers and Sons written by Babette Smith and published by Allen & Unwin Australia. This book was released on 1995 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mother/son relationship is defined by powerful cultural myths. On the one hand it is idealized: the bond between mother and son is exalted as the purest and most fulfilling in a women's life and an unquestioning source of love in a man's life. On the other hand it is vilified. Mother love is portrayed as stifling, limiting or even castrating. Mothers are blamed for flaws in their son's personalities and for any sexual orientation which is not strictly heterosexual. This study attempts to reveal the truth behind these myths and lifts the lid on decades of uneasy family relationships.

Download or read book Breaking the Mother Son Dynamic written by John Lee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapists and the general public are familiar with the terms "(s)mothering," "helicopter moms," and "boomerang sons" because they have been popularized in films like Monster in Law, Cyrus and Failure to Launch—but what makes for humorous fodder onscreen depicts a troubling issue that's being played out for real in therapists' offices, bedrooms, and divorce courts across the nation: an epidemic of men who are enmeshed in unhealthy, energy-sucking, and emasculating relationships with their mothers. Even though these men are grown and living away from Mom, her influence has left them unable to fully commit or to fully love, and they are plagued with anger issues, indecisiveness, depression, or toxic stress. In Breaking the Mother-Son Dynamic, John Lee takes an eye-opening look at how a mother's love or lack thereof impacts a son's life choices and life partner or lovers. Perhaps you are one of these men (or maybe you recognize these behaviors in the man you love). Do you hold back, swallow, or bottle up things you wish you could say to your mother for fear it would upset or "kill" her? Did you grow up hearing negative things about men, masculinity, being a male, and how you shouldn't be like 'the rest of them'? Does your mother, or did she, fail to respect your boundaries as a child, adolescent, or adult? Does your mother keep referring to you as her "baby" or her "little boy" even after you became an adult? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be caught in an unhealthy mother-son dynamic that is negatively affecting key areas of your life. Several years ago, John Lee wrote what came to be the most authoritative book on why men run from relationships, The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man. Here, he visits the mother-son relationship and gently but assertively shows men how to separate from the mother energy that has a massive pull on their hearts and souls, no matter how young or old they may be. In a work that is a combination of memoir, self-help psychology, recovery and personal growth, he discovers: why a relationship of 50-50 responsibility doesn't work, and what does work; how men can stop "sonning" mothers, lovers, and wives; why one must learn his or her own "rhythm of closeness"; how to be really present to those we love and to life itself; and much, much more. Using case studies, personal stories, and assessments, the book helps men release any anger and grief toward their mothers and teaches them how to take responsibility for their adult selves; most importantly, Lee provides an understanding of what healthy adults should—and shouldn't—expect from each other. Lee shows wives and girlfriends how to stop being their man's surrogate mother and shows well-meaning mothers how certain behaviors may perpetuate an unhealthy cycle and how to better relate to their sons in healthier ways. By helping mothers and sons identify this dynamic and providing them with the tools to dismantle it, this book will change lives. For anyone who is ready to make a clean, clear, and guilt-free separation from the kind of (s)mothering and "sonning" that just hasn't worked, John Lee will show them the way.
Download or read book Between Mothers and Sons written by Evelyn Bassoff and published by Dutton Adult. This book was released on 1994 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Raising a son can pose unique challenges for a mother. There is frequently a sense of unity and familiarity between mother and daughter due to shared sexual identity. But a son's physical, emotional, and psychological development differs vastly from that of a daughter's, and even though the mother-son bond is the foundation of all female-male relationships, there have been surprisingly few books available to equip mothers to understand their sons fully. Between Mothers and Sons will break the long silence surrounding mother-son relationships to help mothers successfully negotiate this complex and important tie." "This groundbreaking book from acclaimed psychologist Dr. Evelyn Bassoff shows that mothers can - indeed, must - raise sons in a way that acknowledges and validates their maleness to help them become strong, loving men. At the heart of a boy's path to manhood lies his need to separate psychologically from his mother. With great clarity and sensitivity, Dr. Bassoff explains why this difficult separation is necessary, and how mothers can remain nurturing presences in their sons' lives during this transition. She explains the differences between raising sons and daughters, the important role a father (or, in the absence of a father, a strong male surrogate) plays in a son's life, and how mothers can support and celebrate their sons' masculine energy, whether it manifests itself in a love of playing football or playing piano. Dr. Bassoff also illuminates the varied demands of raising sons for married and single mothers, stepmothers, and mothers of gay sons." "Drawing upon the best available research and theory in psychology, as well as myths, legends, her experience raising her own son, and the personal stories of clients and friends, Dr. Bassoff offers an articulate, flexible, humanistic approach to the process of raising sons. She speaks with wisdom, insight, and compassion about the joys and frustrations of their relationships, and provides an invaluable perspective on what mothers can do to insure that their sons become vital, loving men."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
