C. Lynn Williams who writes books on parenting talked to Lon Woodbury and Liz McGhee on L.A. Talk Radio about the distinct dynamics between mothers and sons. She covered how this dynamic was rather different from a father's relationship with his son or a mother's relationship with her daughter.
The host of Parent Choices for Struggling Teens, Lon Woodbury, is an Independent Educational Consultant and publishes the popular Woodbury Reports. He has worked with families and struggling teens since 1984. Co-Host Liz McGhee, the Director of Admissions for Sandhill Child Development Center, New Mexico, has more than 19 years of clinical, consulting and referral relations experience with adolescents.

C. Lynn Williams is a parenting coach, an educator and an author who holds a Masters in Business Administration from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. Besides teaching parenting skills in educational and corporate environments, she is passionate about empowering parents and teens to build fulfilling relationships. She is an author, wife and mother of four adult children. She has authored three books on parenting: one on how parents can keep their sanity while raising teens, one on raising sons, and one on raising daughters.
How Mothers and Sons Can Build a Positive, Respectful, and Loving Relationship
Williams did not really expect to write again about parenting after she finished, "Trying to Stay Sane While Raising Your Teenager." Nonetheless, during her educational work, she kept running into mothers and sons that did not get along and ended up researching and writing about their unique and special bond. The result was: "The Pampered Prince: Moms Develop a TERRIFIC Relationship with Your Son."
Williams talked about how parenting differed between mothers and fathers and stressed how a male role model is important to help young boys mature. She stressed that mothers have to create a sense of discipline by following through on consequences when their son rebelled and did not do chores or follow directions. By comparison, father's had a much easier time imposing orders since boys reacted much better to direct orders instead of explanations.
Williams also discussed how befriending children is counterproductive to effective parenting. A parent had to choose between the role of parent and the role of friend. Giving children things did not necessarily win them over and make them more obedient.
She compared the connection between dads and boys and moms and daughters, and talked about how it was simpler for fathers to connect to boys and moms to associate with girls because they were familiar with how to connect to the thought patterns of the same sex.
The mothers and sons interview provided numerous guidelines, including discussing love languages, being available, negotiating boundaries, and improving communication. Williams also touched on the value of parenting styles changing with a child's age, the challenge of raising millennial children, the importance of maintaining family dinner traditions, and some effective ways of counteracting the influence of any negative peer groups.
