INTRODUCTION 

A mother and son relationship is different from a mother and daughter relationship. A mother and daughter relationship can be similar to two girls who are friends with each other, who share secrets and stories with one another. However, a mother and son relationship can sometimes be a complex one, especially if both parties do not contribute into making a healthy relationship with one another. In this article, we will discuss on ways to build a healthy relationship between a mother and a son: communication, support to and from each other, and being a role model to your son.

COMMUNICATION

Every parent and child needs to have a healthy relationship with one another. One way to have a healthy relationship is to have a reliable communication with them. Communication includes sharing thoughts and experiences and listening to what the other person has to say. When you son shares about his experiences and problems, make sure that you lend him your listening ear. In return, your son should listen to the feedback or advice that you would give him because after all, it is for his own bosom. Listening to one another will create a bond and, therefore, strengthen your relationship.

SUPPORT

Supporting one another creates a feeling that there is someone to lean on to in times of need, and there is someone who believes in you and goes with you every step of the way. Mothers should show support for their sons in their studies, extra-curricular activities, and social life. Show him that you believe in his abilities and that whenever he has problems or difficulties, he can always run to you for help and support. Make him feel confident that you will be on his side no matter what, that he has a supporter who always looks after him.

BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL

Building a healthy relationship with your son requires trust. Show him that you are worth that trust. Being an excellent example to your son shows that you have strong morals and that he should look up to someone like you? Having him to share his experiences and problems to you means that you are his confidant that he knows that you will listen to him and that you would make him feel that he respected. Having upstanding morals also, mean that you value having a healthy attitude, so that it will motivate him to have strong morals, as well.

CONCLUSION

Building a healthy mother and son relationship is not that difficult, as long as both the mother and son know how to reach on to each other and maintain that relationship. We have learned the fundamentals of a good relationship: communication, support, and model. These three are necessary in a relationship because lacking one of these would mean that there is an aspect in your relationship that is missing, which will pave the way for the relationship to collapse. Any kind relationship needs to have these three aspects; however, a mother and son relationship is unique from other relationships.
