• May 11, 2009 - Habits Charlotte Mason
Posted By Cathy in Charlotte Mason
I am still not feeling well, so I will have to postpone my book report on Charlotte Mason until next week. But, thank everyone out there for making me accountable about reading the Charlotte Mason book. It's a challenging read since it's written during another time than now, but it is one that I feel is important to the education of my children.
The previous chapter was on the importance of Habits. This current chapter I am reading is on specific habits we should cultivate in our children. I am finding this chapter to be more practical than the last. The tried and true Charlotte Mason philosophy about changing a subject if a child is having trouble maintaining their attention is talked about in more detail in this chapter. If you don't have the Charlotte Mason series, I recommend you get it or at least borrow the first book and set some goals to read through it yourself. There is so much that Charlotte Mason teaches that is profound, yet is hard to summarize. Surely, today's schools would do well to pay attention to her tried and true educational philosophies - under which children are both challenged and allowed to be children.
Have a great week!
