I recently purchased Simply Charlotte Mason's Laying Down the Rails ebook. Awesome! I have been printing in little chunks and hope to finish soon. They have gathered pertinent quotes from the series and organized them by trait. Included are tips to develop each habit. Best of all are the questions for mom at the end of each chapter. I think I am going to jot some of these down on index cards and just rotate through them periodically, even one a day or whatnot. It is amazing how many durned things there are to remember, isn't it? Helps like these are so welcome. They keep my focus on the children and the home.
There is a free download at the site called Education Is... which explains very well the balance between ideology, discipline, and environment. Excellent perspective about how these factors intersect to form a three-legged stool. Without one of those legs the whole topples. Check it out.
Ok and now my icalendar is beeping to remind me to go read aloud. Have a wonderful day. : )
I've wondered if that's a good read. Thanks for posting about it.
