About C. Lynn Williams
C. Lynn Williams coaches parents, and she is also an educator and a writer. She holds an MBA from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. Besides teaching parenting in schools and corporations, she teaches parents and adolescents how to build fulfilling relationships. Williams is also a wife and mother, with four grownup children. She has authored three publications on parenting: the first, on exactly how parents can keep stay calm while raising teens; the second, on raising sons; and the third, on raising girls.
How Mothers and Sons Can Build a Positive, Respectful, and Loving Relationship
Williams did not actually expect to write another book after she finished her first book, "Trying to Stay Sane While Raising Your Teen." However, in the course of her teaching work, she met numerous mothers and sons that did not get along and became curious about this unique relationship. Her research resulted in her writing, "The Pampered Prince: Moms Create a GREAT 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 relationship between fathers and sons and mothers and daughters, how it was easier for fathers to relate to sons and mothers to relate to daughters because they were familiar with how to relate to the same gender.
The interview on mothers and sons offered various tips, consisting of reviewing love languages, being readily available, discussing limits, and improving interactions. Williams also touched on the value of parenting styles changing according to a kid's age, the challenge of parenting millennial kids, the relevance of keeping family supper traditions, and some reliable means of counteracting the influence of a child's negative friends.
