Information about each Laying Down the Rails resource
How to use the Laying Down the Rails resources together
- Listen to the Laying Down the Rails workshop to get a good grasp on how to cultivate good habits in your children.
- Read Laying Down the Rails for Yourself to understand how cultivating good habits in your children is similar to and different from cultivating them in your own life. (Optionally, watch the Habit Training Yourself workshop video for a quick-start introduction to the ideas in the book.)
- Choose the one habit you’re going to focus on for the next 6 to 8 weeks.
- Read what Charlotte said about that habit in the Laying Down the Rails reference book, put the book back on the shelf, and go work on encouraging that habit in everyday life (using the practical tips given in the workshop, in Laying Down the Rails for Yourself, and in the first couple of chapters in Laying Down the Rails).
- Once or twice a week, gather the family and read a lesson from the Laying Down the Rails for Children book to keep everyone focused and motivated for the habit you’re working on.
Should I work on one habit for each child or one habit for the entire family?
We usually recommend one habit for the whole family to work on, in order to help mom keep her sanity. Even if the particular habit you choose is easy for child A and difficult for child B, keep in mind that in a couple of months you will switch to a different habit. These months of focus are a great opportunity to practice encouraging each other, especially knowing that the “shoe might be on the other foot” for the next habit selected.
If you have children in their teens, we recommend that you meet with each one individually (as outlined in the workshop). Share with the child the how-to’s of forming habits (or have him read Laying Down the Rails for Yourself) and identify an additional habit that he or she needs to focus on. Then you can just have that “older student” habit also going on the side, but the main focus for the entire family will be the one habit you have selected and read about in Laying Down the Rails for Children.
