I found so many beautiful ideas (for myself as a mom) in Charlotte’s writings that I knew it was the way to go for us.
I just love it when I get a new idea or outlook on life, and I can see the beauty and power of it for our children…what a blessing to be able to train them from a young age with ideas and not just unrelated facts.
I love the way you explain things!

I was particularly struck by the idea of letting the Holy Spirit emphasize the idea that “is needed at just the right time.” What a fearsome thought that I might drown out the voice of God because I am so eager for my children to hear ME!

I am learning, slowly but surely, to rein in my moralizing. It is limiting, and it also implies that the idea you focus on is the “correct” one. I find that my kids tend to shut down completely when I do that – they won’t even enter into a conversation about the particular idea that I am emphasizing. It puzzled me for a long time, but I’m starting to understand their reaction. Thank you again for this valuable food for thought.
