How do children respond when they are asked to say anything about their moms? How do they rate their relationships with their moms? What color best describes their mothers? These and other questions are answered in this provocative book by Robin and Doug Webster.

The Websters interviewed over 1,000 young people to unveil their hearts and reveal ways to deepen mother/child relationships. In Dear Mom, the Websters bring to mothers the heart-revealing answers to the questions, "What would you say to your mom if you could say anything?"

A companion to Doug Webster's Dear Dad, Dear Mom takes an inside look at today's youth--what they like and don't like about their moms--from "Mom, I appreciate you because you're always there!" to "I can't tell my mom anything," the personal insights from this book will help moms know, love, and relate better to their childern. Each chapter in the book includes a practical section called "What's a mother to do?"

Among the insights you'll gain: "You're presence, not your perfection, is what your child needs," "Date your child," and "Quit yelling and chill out."

Dear Mom is an inspiration for mothers of all age children. You will find ways to help you better understand your child and make your "labor of love" more rewarding.

"Dear Mom articulates what Moms do want to know about their kids while at the same time providing insight, practical tips, and encouragement to help them on their voyage."

"I think Dear Mom and Dear Dad are one of the best ways for parents to find out what our kids are saying today. It's not what you think they ought to be saying."
