On Friday, May 3, the Frankfort Park District held a night of bowling at Thunder Bowl for mothers and their sons. “This is the seventh year we’ve hosted this” said Cali DeBella, special events coordinator for the Frankfort Park District. “We do daddy daughter dance so we thought we would do something different for mothers and their sons.” About 60 people participated in the event, and moms brought home a gift. “We always hold this event a week or so before Mother’s Day so that moms can have an evening with their sons,” DeBella said. “A few of the moms and sons have been attending since the beginning, so it’s fun to watch them grow through the years.” Davis Korbel, from Mokena, and Nathan Jackiw, from Frankfort, check out their bowling score during a mother and son bowling night Friday, May 3, held at Thunder Bowl in Mokena. Mary Compton/22nd Century Media Jennifer Hayward of Mokena brought her son Ben. It was their third year taking part in the event. “We have a great time hanging out together,” Jennifer said. “It’s become a tradition because we come with the same neighbors and friends. This is equivalent to the daddy daughter dance to take a special night out. It’s important to spend time with my son. It instills a good relationship for us and to make him feel special.” In the book, “The Mama’s Boy Myth,” author Kate Stone Lombardi Bob Spychalski BROKER • Customized Marketing Campaign • Free professional & drone photography • Strong online & social media exposure • My listing’s SOLD faster than market average • Local Resident 630.728.8490 spysold.com PRIDE REALTY BOB SPYCHALSKI 5 Star Rating writes five reasons the mother-son relationship is so important. One of them she writes, “Moms who keep their sons close are setting them up for success later in life, both in personal relationships and at work. Because mothers work to teach their sons emotional intelligence (starting from when the days they urge their screaming toddler to ‘use your words’ to when they won’t accept their teenage son’s grunts as a reasonable response) their sons grow up with the communication skills that they need to navigate adulthood.” As mom’s gave high fives to their sons after a game, Jacquelyn Vondrak from Frankfort was excited to talk about celebrating her son’s birthday for the evening. “We’re celebrating Samuel’s birthday today. He turned 9,” Vondrak said. “When you have more than one kid, spending individual time with one is rare but totally awesome. It’s important to spend one-on-one time with all your kids. It’s not only needed, it’s special.”
