How to teach your son to communicate with girls? What is the first thing to tell your child about? If you are the mom of a boy who is already interested in the opposite sex, read this article on 5 things a mom should teach her son.
1. Treat girls with dignity and respect
Your son wants to be treated with respect, right? Then encourage him to show the same respect through actions and words. Help him form simple habits:
• Use words to stand up for the girl when she is being bullied
• Think before you speak. Will your words make her feel better or worse?
• Express your opinion with respect and also listen when she speaks. Never use physical force to prove your point.
2. Recognize that every girl is unique

Help your son understand that every girl is unique and her talents make her special. Respect for a girl's individuality will require him to work:
• Stay away from labels. Girls are more than just looks
• Take the time to establish a friendly rather than romantic contact in the first place. Invite her to play a board game or street volleyball
3. Communication is the main key
Your communication with your son can help him develop good communication skills. Take turns talking, listening to each other without interrupting. Some basics will help him communicate with the opposite sex:
• Try to see the best in others.
• Accept someone else's point of view, even if you disagree with it.
• Approach every conversation like a student, not like an expert pro.
4. Be a gentleman
Help your son practice his manners and being a gentleman with you first. Give him the basic principles:
• There should be compassion and empathy in communication.
• Be selfless, not selfish.
• Strive to make each situation better for each of you.
