The mother-son relationship became a very interesting topic for me the moment I got my own son. Even though I'm the kind of a person who generally trusts and follows the instincts I use every chance - either through reading or observation - to make sure I'm on the right parenting way. As a matter of fact every day and every page I turn over gives me plenty of diverse food for reflecting.
While reading I learnt that generations of scientists and common people have been continuously reviewing and discussing the significance of the bond between the mother and son. That said, in olden days mothers were convinced that holding emotions back and keeping distance were essential in developing strong, independent, masculine features in boys. As opposed to this approach but with the same intention present-day mothers are being encouraged to build secure bonds with their sons through nurturing, cuddling, kissing, teaching and loving.
Regardless of how many opinions we consider or how many examples we choose to follow the truth is there are no recipes, no ready-made patterns that will contribute to bringing up a great man. But odds are good kids grow up watching and copying their parents' attitudes and life perception. There are good reasons why they say "as the tree, so the fruit". And therefore instead of applying useless techniques in raising kids we ourselves should be the examples of happiness, success, self-confidence, honesty, maturity and generosity.
I'm devoting this post to a wonderful mom Danielle and her dear son Christian I had a blessing to work with on 20 July 2014 at John Paul Jones park, Bay Ridge. Thank you for sharing your kindness and inspiration.
