“Use sorrow instead of anger in the discipline p “Use sorrow instead of anger in the discipline process,” write Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller. They describe a scene: “[Ann] went out her front door to find that her eleven-year-old son had dropped his bike too close to the flowerbed, damaging some of her flowers. Her first reaction was anger, and she started imagining what consequence she’d give him. After taking a few deep breaths, Ann decided on a different approach. She calmed herself, went into the house, found her son, and with a flower in her hand, she said, ‘I’m so sad. I really liked this flower, but your bike landed on it, and now it’s broken.’ She then turned and left the room.” The first chapter of Charlotte Mason’s Formation of Character tells the story of Guy, a five-year-old whose outbursts were wrecking the joy of his family. Although published in volume 5, it was included in the original volume 2 of 1897. Guy’s parents settle on a plan to replace his old habit with a new. The lynchpin of the plan is for everyone around the boy to change his thoughts before a tantrum can eventuate. All goes well until Guy surrenders to the temptation of rage. The mother finds out that it is too late to “change his thoughts.” A backsliding has occurred, and the consequences must be felt. She resolves not to withdraw her love, but she does choose sorrow rather than anger. Turansky & Miller’s Handbook of Christian Parenting was published 116 years after Mason’s story. They uncover a principle Mason revealed more than a century before. The mother’s sorrow reached Guy’s heart, and he repented in tears. Mason’s account cautions us against the folly of plain indulgence. But an angry response is damaging too. Turansky & Miller quote a ten-year-old who said of his father, “I wish we could be friends, but I hate it when he gets mad.” “You can’t just sit around and hope that you’ll mellow out some day,” they warn. “Anger doesn’t work that way. If you’ve developed patterns of angry behavior, now is the time to change.” Replace an old habit with a new one. For the mother of Guy, sorrow was the key. @artmiddlekauff
Reporting back on my days as a substitute teacher Reporting back on my days as a substitute teacher for a Charlotte Mason cottage school last week. It was amazing to see Miss Mason’s methods in action in a classroom setting. The children were bright and eager to continue their storybooks and any mistaken details from peers were corrected via their own narrations. Brush drawing and outside time were the most highly anticipated. Cleanup was also a favorite as it took place whilst belting out a sea shanty. And, while the children did the work of the lessons themselves, I came home completely and utterly exhausted. A personal highlight came when the children gathered around outside to report how many changes of season they’d spotted. We’d counted eleven when one little boy asked, “Miss Richele, would you like to hear a poem?” He then recited Emily Dickinson’s “Autumn” to a rapt audience and, just like that, we added another six to our list! Autumn The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown; The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on. ~Emily Dickinson 📷:@aolander @rbaburina . . . . . #cornersofmyworld #earlyyears #charlottemasoninspired #freerangechildren #charlottemasonapproach #charlottemasonschool #charlottemasoneducation #silverlinings #wildandfreechildren #charlottemasonresources #letthembelittle #hyggehomeschool #charlottemasonpoetry #bewildmychild #smallmomentsofcalm #ofwhimsicalmoments #myseasonalstyling #homeschoolmum #stillwithstories #charlottemasonmum #homeschoolhelp #littlepiecesofchildhood #nestandflourish #noticepausetreasure #alittlebeautyeveryday #countrysidewalks #lifelearners #fortheloveoflearning #educatedwithlove #cottageschool
The vision of a Charlotte Mason education is unque The vision of a Charlotte Mason education is unquestionably beautiful: hours spent in nature, admiring great works of art, and listening to timeless music. Reading and narrating living books. Experiencing wonder instead of pressure, joy instead of drudgery. It’s a vision that so many parents want to capture for their home and their children. But how does this vision stand up to the test of years? As the prospect of college, vocation, and life looms closer and closer, do these elements of the Charlotte Mason method retain their relevance? Or must they be pushed aside in a hurried preparation for the next stage of life? I had the opportunity recently to share my thoughts on this topic in a presentation to the Life-giving Motherhood community which was recorded live. Take a moment to listen and to comment on the relevance of Charlotte Mason’s ideas to the final years of the homeschool journey.

“He did not say, ‘We have no hope of the paren “He did not say, ‘We have no hope of the parents, let us work for the children!’ Such are the faint-hearted and pessimistic things we say to-day. What he said was, in effect, ‘Fathers and mothers, this is your work, and you only can do it. It rests with you, parents of young children, to be the saviours of society unto a thousand generations. Nothing else matters. The avocations about which people weary themselves are as foolish child’s play compared with this one serious business of bringing up our children in advance of ourselves.’” (Vol. 2 pp. 2-3) @tessakeath . . . . . . . . . . #homeschoolroom #bookstagram #bookshelf #livingbooks #bibliophile #reading #bookish #bookworm #booklover #readaloud #readaloudrevival #childrensliterature #raiseareader #booksforkids #readingnook #kidsbookstagram #shelfie #booksbooksbooks #homelibrary #bookshelvesofinstagram #prettybookplaces #personallibrary #fortheloveofbooks #fortheloveofreading #librariesofinstagram #bookshelfie #vintagebooks #booklove #simplicityparenting #motherculture
