    I have been reading this series and thought that some of you might appreciate the topics covered. She is publishing a new post every day in October about various CM myths that are familiar to many of of us. =)

    Here is one from SCM archives that corroborates. Cool I like number 5…we live in Louisiana…Does swimming every single day count as outdoor play? Ha ha ha!

    HA! HA! HA!  LOVE THIS!  These are myths I’d like to see not only BUSTED but smashed to smithereens and then obliterated by bombs.  Vaporized.  🙂  I’ve been repeating these very things so many times for so long I may still be saying them in the nursing home . . .

    Love it! I pinned it so maybe some of my skeptical family & friends will be curious enough to look at it. Haha! 😉

    Sheraz, thank you for sharing this. I have found much food for thought in several of the busted myths.

    Yesterday, I read Myth #4 about CM not being feasible for modern mothers who do not have Victorian servants, etc. What really spoke to me in that post was a quote from a mother in 1905 mentioning that “housework was to be done by ten,” and then she called the children in from the garden. Playing outdoors for a period of time before lessons! What a splendid idea! So I tried it. It is a great way to invigorate my children’s bodies and get some of those wiggles out that prevent them from giving full attention. Of course, I want to be outdoors playing before school too….

    I have not read myth 4 yet but, I’m liking the sound of that idea too!!!  Perhaps I’ll try it tomorrow!
