ElCloud Homeschool: Busy Minds, Busy Hands, Busy Feet

An Excellent Article on Dawdling

I went searching for an old article I'd read before online. It had moved, but I found it again. It's by Catherine Levison, and is called "How to Replace Dawdling with Good Habits". It is based on Charlotte Mason's teachings, and can be read HERE.

In addition, there are chapters in Karen Andreola's book, A Charlotte Mason Companion, on overcoming dawdling, and bickering, especially as they relate to homeschooling.

Blessings,
April

That was a great article ( and my 9 year old is SUCH a dawdler) I really needed that!

Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Blessings,
Michelle

Map of the Humanities

Ever wish your kids could see the "big picture" of what they're studying?

The "Map of the Humanities" puts it all on one page: history, literature, government, fine arts and philosophy from Creation to right now!
