The mother and son relationship is a precious gift! I have been blessed with two sons. It is important that we make sure to faithfully pour into our sons so we can strengthen our bond.
Every son needs their mama to do the following to grow their bond with their mom:
- Support Him and Cheer Him On – We need to show our boys that we are proud of their accomplishments. A simple smile can make him feel how proud we are of them.
- Show Interest In His Likes – We need to show our son that we are genuinely interested in their likes and hobbies. Ask them questions about their favorite toys.
- Play With Him and Interact With Him – Children love when they get to spend time with you. Spending one on one time with your children truly strengthens your bond and helps them trust you more.
- Comfort Him – Don’t forget that kind words or a hug can be comforting to him. Protect his heart.
- Teach Him and Be An Example For Him – They may not want to listen all the time but they sure do like to copy what we do. Make sure we are being a role model for them.
- Discipline Him – Make sure you are setting boundaries for your son to know from right and wrong. They need consequences in place.
- Be Patient With Him – They are just a child and he will make mistakes. Being a good mom requires a lot of patience.
- Share The Hope of Jesus With Him – One of the absolute most important jobs for us moms is to share the hope that is found in Christ with our boys. Share with him what God has put on your heart.
- Pray For Him – If we don’t pray for our sons then who is? We need to be praying for his protection, his heart and the decisions he will make and for his salvation.
I have two boys who are completely different, but at the end of the day, their basic needs for Jesus, love, patience, and instruction are equally the same.
This mama is so blessed!
