Barb at Handbook of Nature Study is hosting this edition of the Charlotte Mason Blog carnival!
I contrived this list using
Laying Down the Rails: A Charlotte Mason Habits Handbook
These are all wonderful habits that we should want to instill in our children.
The habits that I am going to address here, may not be of most importance...
but there is no doubt, that they ensure smooth and easy days!
Because I did not want to reward the kids for doing what is expected of them,
but at the same time, I want there to be an incentive and a time limit;
I have given them a list of my expectations to be done before our mealtime or snacktime.
(sort of like chores on a farm being done before breakfast!)
  
It is also my goal that my children can run the household if need be.

Inspired by the heartfelt book by Patricia St, John, this drama finds 13-year-old Lucien traumatized after his relentless teasing winds up causing his friend, Danny, to fall off an Alpine cliff. Ostracized for his actions, especially by Danny's sister, Annette, Lucien seeks refuge in the mountains after his repeated attempts at seeking forgiveness fail to make a difference. There, a woodcarver teaches Lucien how to find his way to peace.
