"Thanks to this
workshop, a Parent Support Group has developed. Everyone in the group
is so enthusiastic about our getting together they want to keep it
going. I especially appreciate the way in which I have grown through
these activities. The Never-Ending Report Card is just that."
Angela O. Johnson, MegaMom
New Jersey
"Several single
parents got excited about all the activities with their children and
especially about having a time to share with other adults the
improvements they accomplished. They liked telling how they adapted the
ideas and suggesting new approaches when an activity didn't work with a
particular child. It was fantastic to feel and see the new hope,
confidence and delights the parents found."
Sharon Ivins, Teacher

"We are a busy
family as are most modern families. We often come home tired and not at
our best. This course has given us many creative "ways out" to
understand and solve snarly family disputes. We knew from other courses
what was negative parenting: We just didn't have the "to-do's" to keep
us out of limbo with our children."
Trava Mayes
Boise, Idaho
"We noticed a
dramatic change for the better when the children started school. The
year before when there were no orientation sessions, we had
approximately 20 to 25 students, out of a population of 140, who
adjusted poorly to their new environment. This year we had no more than
2 or 3 students experience any significant difficulty. Thank you for
the use of your materials and ideas."
Larry Rowe and Elizabeth
Weichmann
Counselors, San Antonio, Texas
"Because we
believe so strongly in the MegaSkills, it is impossible to teach our
regular classes, not to mention mother our children without including
MegaSkills in some way. Our lives have been enriched by the MegaSkills
experience. We look forward to conducting more workshops."
Dolores Kaneshina and
Shari Rigmaiden

"One more thing I
would like to add that the workshop has given me confidence and
self-esteem so that I received a promotion on my job which will give me
more time to spend with my family."
Eyre D. Wright, Father
Willingboro, New Jersey
"One Sunday in
church our minister was teaching a sermon. He used the word
"perseverance." My five year old leaned over and said, `That's one of
our MegaSkills.' Last weekend, my children and I were doing housework.
I was telling them what I was going to do and what I wanted them to do.
My daughter said, "This is teamwork." So, you see we use MegaSkills in
many situations.
Sharon Estes, Parent
Louisville, Kentucky
"In our
contemporary society, we must take the time to understand our
children's wants and needs. The problem is an infant cannot say to us,
"Mummy/Daddy help me with my self-confidence or self worth or pay more
attention to my problem solving. It is here that MegaSkills excels with
proven insight and experience."
B. Lee Jaspers, Father
Warwick, Rhode Island
"MegaSkills is a
way of preparing students to learn while learning. MegaSkills provides
guidance for students and parents and teaching of everyday skills that
are needed to get through the day."
Bureau of Indian Affairs
"I'm honored to
be a leader for MegaSkills -- to be helping parents and others to help
children become lifetime learners! A `new' contagious disease (a good
one!) is spreading!"
