For the Local Folks- Charlotte Mason Method- Meeting

October 15, 2009

"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye – she would let them be."

Just a reminder to let you know we are looking forward to gathering at The Cedar House (Ashville) on Saturday to hear Lisa Ector share with us about the Charlotte Mason method and her homeschooling experiences.

We will start at 10 a.m., break for lunch, and then finish up around 2. Please bring a lunch and a notebook and pen–you’ll want to take notes! I’m looking forward to fresh inspiration, so needed, I think, as we mothers embrace this monumental task of educating our children. I also look forward to the fellowship and encouragement always present when sisters in the Lord meet together.

Feel free to invite anyone you think may be interested!
