Good parenting advice to help with your teenage son. Do you know what the five things that tween and teen boys want from their mom? Find out with these must know parenting tips for moms raising teenage boys.
Have a boy growing into a teenager or in the thick of things now? Here is some great advice for moms raising teenage boys.
Raising teenage boys can be a challenge. As my son grows into a teenager right before my eyes, I have to admit that I’m freaking out a bit! I have been thinking a lot about how much he has changed since becoming a tween. He will be a teenager in one more year and I want to make sure we keep a good mother and son relationship.
I knew how to be a mom to a little boy who got scared , or who drenched me with water on bumper boats . I knew how to react when he pestered his little sister for fun or did stupid stuff (believe me there has been enough of this to write a book!). But now as he gets older, I have started questioning what he needs most from me. This whole transitioning into teendom is scary!
I’m excited for my son to become a young man, but there are days I so desperately long for that little boy in the batman costume.
Now he’s in 6th grade. What happened to my little boy? I still remember writing a letter to him on his first day of Kindergarten !
After I dropped him off for his first day of middle school, I spent most of the day writing down my thoughts and reading articles about teenage boys.
I came to some interesting conclusions about raising teenage boys. My son has read this and given it his stamp of approval. For those of you with boys my son’s age, I hope you enjoy these 5 Things Tween Boys Want From Moms . We can all walk this walk together!
I have noticed my son will often zone out when I start gabbing away or give him a lot of advice at once. I thought it was just him ignoring me, but apparently this is normal for tween and teenage boys!
According to Dr. Laura; A teenage boy is only capable of hearing five to 10 words. After that, they shut down. Cut down communication to one or two sentences.
When boys talk, LISTEN. It might be a rare occasion! Don’t take it personal if they don’t talk much about their day. That’s just where they are in life. Now I know when my son is in a talkative mood, I stop what I’m doing to focus on him. I don’t want to miss any opportunity to have a great conversation with my son. Communication is such an important way to build a great mother and son relationship.
I’m all for having fun, but sometimes I’m so over the fart jokes! (sigh) We were used to the buffoonery when they were little boys. We expected nothing less. I often wonder when my son will grow out of being a goofball. It seems to be getting worse as he gets older too. ha! This not so mature teenager behavior is normal. I guess I should have realized this a long time ago, since my husband is still a HUGE goofball most of the time! I will do my best to giggle along with the silliness and not be too uptight. Maybe it will get him talking more if I listen to his fart jokes:-)
Letting boys be silly is good and picking our battles is even better.
With my son, I get the best result when I ask him his opinion about a punishment for breaking a rule, not doing what I asked or misbehaving. I often ask him what he would do if he was the parent. I listen, but that doesn’t always mean I agree with what he says. Often he suggests a much harder punishment for himself than I would have given him!
The point is to set boundaries, expectations and rules. Be the parent in charge, but also involve them in the process along the way.
Turning into a teenager is such an awkward phase for boys and moms. So many changes are going on. One day he’s your little boy, and the next day you are thinking “who the heck is this young man and what do I do with him?” ha!
One of my favorite books is The 5 Love Languages for Kids. I was excited to find out there is now a book called 5 Love Languages for Teenagers !
My son is very touchy feely, it’s easy to know that his main love language is touch. So for me, giving him a hug or pat on the back is all I need to do to love on him. For a mom who loves to hug anyway… that’s pretty easy! Many teens are not as easy to read, so I highly recommend this book for getting to know your son better.
Showing love to a tween or teenager can be done in many different ways depending on their personality and love language. Some feel the most loved when you tell them you are proud of how they cleaned their room, others might feel more love from you when you make their favorite meal or it can be as easy as watching them participate in a sport or other activity.
Don’t fall for the “I’m too cool to care” attitude. Be sure to love on them in the way that makes them feel the most special.
I came across an interesting article by Andrea Schneider, a mom and therapist, who asked her 13 year old son what teen boys need from their parents. He said Dads were needed to help with certain things like hobbies, while moms were needed for supporting their sons in anything they do.
It makes me feel good knowing boys will still want their moms as they continue to grow! I think I can handle being the supportive parent. I will just try to do it while not talking too much, involving him in decisions and showing him lots of love, while not rolling my eyes too much at fart jokes!

Parenting Resources for Raising Your Son from Boy to Man
I’ve been an all-boy mom now for over 14 years and now that my youngest son is going on 6 years old, it is very clear to me and should be pretty clear to those who know me, that 4 kids was and is my limit! Done! Enough is enough. Baby factory is closed.
But here’s the thing. Because all of my kids happen to be the same gender, (4 boys!) and that gender is different than MY gender, people just can’t wrap their head around the idea that I am completely content being a forever “boymom” and that I’m not planning on having more kids.
I could write a book about some of the inconsiderate , rude , silly things people have said to me regarding my family. Maybe I WILL get around to writing that book someday when my days are no longer spent sniffing out strange smells in bedrooms and cleaning urine off the bathroom ceiling. (kidding…kind of).
But most importantly, know that we’ve got this. Our boy-mama tribe is strong. We support each other. We just “get” each other and are there to see each mama succeed.
So next time you see a mom of all boys out with her family, just give a smile and instead of feeling sorry, think about just how lucky that mom truly is.
If you’re looking for a boy-mama tribe, come join our supportive community for moms of boys.
And get our free ebook with Tips and Tricks for Raising Boys. It can help you tackle some of the “situations” that arise while raising your little men.
Raising boys isn't for the weak! These tips and tools will help with some of the "situations" boys bring your way.
Hi there! Are you new to The Joys of Boys? If so, WELCOME!!
I’m Kara Lewis, the busy mom of 4 boys. I’m so HAPPY you stopped in.
Let me be your guide as you navigate each new stage of your son’s life.
I'd love to stay connected! A great way to interact with me is via my email community , Facebook , and Instagram
I’m looking forward to getting to know you!
Hi, I am mom of 3 boys and I recognize everything you write. Except for point 9. I don’t think you are exhausted because you have 4 boys, it is just because you have 4 children. It can sometimes be hard to be a mom
I have three boys, and I am pregnant with my fourth child. We’ve always waited to be surprised at birth rather than find out the gender early. My husband and I are keeping the knowledge of this pregnancy to ourselves as long as possible because I know that every. single. person we tell will instantly say, “I hope it’s a girl!” I know I’m my hormonal state, I might just say something snippy in return, as if the girl wisher believes what I currently have isn’t adequate or joy-filling. With all my pregnancies, I’ve never wanted a boy more than I do now! I LOVE being the mom of all boys, and I don’t want to be kicked out of the club! I’ve always thought it was silly when parents preferred to have one gender over another, but here I am…….really wanting a boy! I’m tempted to find out the gender this go ‘round just so that I can put an end to the “I hope it’s a girl” wishes. I’m afraid if I found out now that the baby is a girl, I might be disappointed. If I wait until birth, however, I will have a beautiful baby to snuggle and love, and it won’t matter at all whether it’s a boy or a girl! Right now, I’m gonna keep hoping for a boy, though! ?
Love this!
Even though I also have a beautiful daughter, I have a very special relationship with my precious, rowdy, loud, intense, smelly, adoring son, and don’t want to imagine life without him. We can’t have more children, but I’m so happy for you with your special gang. You are right that each child is a blessing, and I will add: chosen and fashioned and sent by God who gives us strength for this exhausting journey. Thanks for writing.
Love this! Momma of 3 boys here. Still trying to filter the poop, butt and fart jokes a little more but wouldn’t trade them even one day for barbie dolls!
Mom of 4 boys here! 8, 4 and twin 1 year olds. I love being a boy mom. They love me so much and love to snuggle. I think it is a privilege to be raising future young men on how to respect women and be brave to stand up for what is right. I wouldn’t trade being a boy mom for the world.
As a mom of 4 boys only – I can completely relate with every word written here! Love my guys ( now 22years old to 11 years old.) They are fantastic. Yes, I have nieces that I may spoil a bit with “girlie” activities – but isn’t that the joy of being an aunt?! Wouldn’t trade my “mighty men of valor” for anything. Love having my wonderful sons, their antics, their hugs, and their messes!
Hi I just like to say I totally agree with everything you write in this post, I know cos I’m a mum of 6 boys!! It gets so frustrating when I have been pregnant when people ask if it’s a girl, or didn’t you want a girl like you get to have a choice when you get pregnant. I’m so happy with my boys and wouldn’t change them for the world.
This is by far the best list that I can relate to as a four boy mom. I’m fascinated by birth order and do enjoy seeing if my first, last, middles, act in comparison to their counterparts in other three/four boy families, so that’s the only one we differed on. ????
Hahaha!!!! Yes…it’s definitely a possibility that one could be punched in the nose for telling me my son won’t be mine after he marries. I hate that! And I couldn’t agree more that they love their moms fiercely. And why do people assume I have to have a girl and feel the need to ask when we’re going to try for one. My family is complete, thank you very much!
But in all honesty, I absolutely love every single one of these.Thank you for sharing these with other mom boys!
