{ "item_title" : "Strong Mothers, Raising Emotionally Intelligent Sons", "item_author" : [" Torin Halbourne "], "item_description" : "What happens when the little boy who once told you everything starts answering with fine, retreating to his room, pushing against your rules, or insisting that he can handle things on his own?Raising a son is filled with moments that can leave even a loving mother wondering when to step in, when to listen, when to set a firm limit, and when to let go. You want him to be confident without becoming entitled, emotionally aware without feeling pressured to talk, independent without becoming distant, and strong without believing that strength requires emotional hardness.Strong Mothers Raising Emotionally Intelligent Sons is a practical guide to helping boys grow into capable, emotionally grounded young men while protecting the mother and son relationship along the way.Rather than trying to eliminate anger, disappointment, rejection, frustration, embarrassment, or uncertainty from your son's life, this book shows you how to help him develop the inner skills to face them. You will learn how to look beneath difficult behavior, give emotions useful language, respond to silence without chasing, set limits around anger without shaming the feeling, and build confidence that comes from competence rather than constant reassurance.As your son grows, the challenges change. Friendships become more complicated. Peer pressure grows stronger. Phones, gaming, group chats, social media, pornography, online influencers, and changing ideas about masculinity enter his world. At the same time, he wants more privacy, greater freedom, and fewer reminders from you.This book helps you navigate those changes with warmth and clear boundaries. It explores how to reduce nagging and power struggles, teach responsibility through appropriate consequences, guide sons through rejection and failure, strengthen empathy without encouraging people pleasing, and help boys understand respect, consent, healthy relationships, self control, and mature masculinity.You will also learn how to gradually stop doing what your son is ready to do himself. From school responsibilities and household tasks to money, appointments, problem solving, work, decision making, and preparation for adulthood, the focus remains on turning support into capability without withdrawing love.Throughout the book, realistic family situations and natural conversation examples show what these principles can look like with younger boys, tweens, and teenagers. The guidance also recognizes that families differ, including single parent households, blended families, shared custody arrangements, different caregiving structures, and boys whose developmental or learning needs require additional support.Most importantly, this is not a book about becoming a perfect mother or raising a boy who never struggles. It is about creating a relationship where emotions can be honest, limits can be clear, mistakes can be repaired, responsibility can grow, and increasing independence does not have to mean losing connection.With practical reflections and a 30 Day Mother and Son Growth Plan, you can begin making small changes in how you listen, respond, set boundaries, transfer responsibility, and communicate trust.Because the goal is not to raise a son who needs you to manage his life forever.It is to raise a young man who can understand himself, respect others, make responsible choices, recover when life hurts, and eventually stand on his own while still knowing that his relationship with you is a safe place to return.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/111/9798161114520_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.99", "online_price" : "17.99", "our_price" : "17.99", "club_price" : "17.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
