Being a “mama's boy”, new research suggests, may be good for their mental health. This doesn’t mean overprotecting our son as we shadow him in every walk of his life, instead, it’s like making sure he knows that it’s okay to show his emotional side, cry, and not act tough at all times. It also doesn’t mean for us to always indulge our son and turn a blind eye towards his inappropriate behaviors.  So whether he is the stereotype definition of “mama’s boy” or not, let’s remember that we, moms, influence our son significantly, let’s remain in control, therefore.
