I am a big proponent of mom studying herself so she can mentor her own kids in their education. This is what truly makes leaders, the mentoring process. Reading classics is a great way to start your own education. Another way is to listen to audio cds. I have learned so much from lecture series or sermons that are on audio cd. While traveling from Texas to our home in Idaho, I listened to a Confederate Heritage conference that my oldest daughter attended in May. Steve & I decided not to go because we would be on the road for the next 3 weekends. So, Ashley went with our pastor's family to Louisiana. She had a great time listening to the speakers, attending the family Confederate Ball, and going to Steve Wilkins' church on Sunday.
Since we did not make it to the conference, we asked Ashley to buy a set of the lectures. I was challenged by the comments made about states' rights and encouraged to read Flannery O'Connor after hearing these excellent speakers.
I try to always have an audio cd in the van so I can listen to it after I drop off the kids at whatever activity they have. In addition to your readings, try listening to audio workshops, audio books or audio sermons. You will be glad you did.
