MegaSkills® for Babies, Toddlers and Beyond
“...Silly kids, think they are having fun when they are actually learning! I think MegaSkills for Babies, Toddlers, and Beyond by Dorothy Rich, EdD & Beverly Mattox, MEd is such a great book. It is for parents of children ranging in age from 1 to 6. Throughout the book, there are ideas on how to take ordinary objects and situations, and turn them into extraordinary learning activities...” more...
Reviews By K., mother
I like this book. The tag line for MegaSkills for Babies, Toddlers and Beyond is “Building Your Child’s Happiness and Success for Life.” Isn’t this every parents’ goal for their child(ren)? Everyone I know says, “S/he can be anything s/he wants as long as s/he’s happy”...MegaSkills is an interesting and supportive book. If you know anyone with small children, it’s worth adding to their library. more...

MegaSkills: Building Our Children’s Character and Achievement for School and Life
This is an excellent book for parents to help them rethink the ways they can help their children develop those crucial character skills necessary to success. As a school principal I have one copy that has been loaned out numerous times to parents seeking help.

“We defend our children best when as a community and as a nation we make it possible for all parents to express their love, their interest, and involvement in their children’s development and education. That’s what Dorothy Rich and MegaSkills are all about while millions of parents still need to be reached this program has given us a head start for thousands of families across the nation.”
