Clever, humorous, and engaging, this book is packed with insightful tips - and tried-and-true tricks - for getting to know, and keeping one step ahead of, your mum. Among other things, you will learn: what makes her tick and what ticks her off, how to snoop-proof your bedroom, how to handle her in public situations (very important!), and how to get her on your side by appealing to her inner teen. Sharp and hilarious in its honesty, this book is a total must for helping you learn how to manage your mum.
Great book!! This book is absolutely true and contains realistic ways to talk to your mother! As a teenage girl, I don't always get along with my mom and sometimes I am unsure of how to confront her on certain issues. Talking to friends doesn't always work, because they don't know my mom as well as I do. This book gives descriptions of certain moods moms may be in and how to react and help her. I recommend this book to any teenage girl who wants to understand and get along with her mom!
Decoding Mom = great! This book takes a look at the dynamic between kids and mothers. As a teenage girl myself, I feel this effectively addresses what goes on between moms and daughters. The graphics are cool and the text is accessible and informational without being patronizing. Whether it has to do with coping with an embarrassing mother or learning how to negotiate over curfews and clothing choices, or undstanding why Mom is acting the way she is, this book is spot on.

Insightful Their are many books out there with this kind of subject matter, but this one, as always with Zest books, approaches it in a different and altogether moire effective way. As is the trend with this innovative publishing house, the writer focuses more on practical ways to deal with certain, rather than emotional drivel about why your supposed to feel what when and which of the seven fetal positions to curl into in what situation. This is a great book which, if you follow its advice, at least will put you on the right path to a better parental relationship. Which is more than you can say for WAR & PEACE.
decoding mom Decoding mom is a rare find: a book that honestly addresses the questions, mysteries and seemingly enormous gap the spans between mothers and their teenage kids. Decoding mom does not candy coat the sometimes difficult relationship and communication problems. It is funny, candid and wise, helping two outwardly different people (the old folks and us kids) find common ground.
Guidebook to Moms This book is no doubt going to come in handy for any kid who reads it. Never again will you wonder if she'll let you get that toy when she simply replies, "We'll see.". You'll understand why she grounds you, why she wants you to make straight A's, and why, for Pete's sake, she insists you keep your room clean. This is a dictionary, thesaurus, and an encylopedia on mothers, their reasons and what makes them tick, much to the relief of children everywhere.
