Today I begin a series which will cover all of the main topics in my new book, Boy Mom:  What Your Son Needs Most from You.   In these first episodes we will be covering the 12 things your son most needs from you...These are areas moms can equip their sons so that they are ready to face the world once they leave the nest.  In today's episode we are going over chapter two of the BOY MOM BOOK, and it's all about building a healthy relationship with our sons.  We all want to feel connected to our sons in a relationship that will last a lifetime, yet this can get tricky as boys grow up, pull away, and go through various stages.  We know they need to grow in independence, but we don't want to lose our relationship with them, either.  In this episode I talk about what I consider the four building blocks of a healthy relationship with your son.  This episode ought to be an encouragement to you, as well as a loving reminder that the relationship you have with your son today is building a foundation for how you will relate to one another for years to come.  I'm sharing some of my own experiences and practical tips for moms of boys of all ages.  I hope you enjoy!
