5 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful! Many doors opened for my family!   June 26, 2000

Not only does this book advise one to teach children fundamental skills it tells one HOW to teach. It's not an overnight accompolishment, but it is the next best thing. This book gives clear, precise activities to do with you child on a normal persons schedule. I have found it relieves the guilt associated with not spending enough quality time with your children. It tells you what to do with them. It's so simple. I wonder why I didn't think of it.
