I have learned so much and realized that a lot of the ways I speak to my son are not respectful. I also realize I can’t change overnight. But part of it is being aware of our own behavior. If we, as mothers, put into practice the advice in this book it could dramatically change our relationships with our sons. As I was reading I was even thinking my husband could gain insight into his relationship with our son. Even though he is a man and wants respect too, I think men can forget that their son’s desire the same thing. So I honestly think dad’s could read this book and learn new things as well. If you have a son I highly recommend this book. We all want strong young men of honor, let’s breath that into them no matter what age they are at.
