Habits: The Mother's Secret To Success (Charlotte Mason Topics) (Volume 1)

A selection of Charlotte Mason's writings on the topic of Habit Formation in children. Her teachings on the topic of education required six large volumes to cover. This book makes it simple for homeschooling parents to find exactly what they need to learn about Charlotte Mason's thoughts on establishing good habits. The teachings and philosophies of Charlotte Mason, a British educator from the last century, are currently experiencing a revival, especially among American private and home schools. Mason’s educational ideas were originally used by governesses in England to educate the children in their charge. Eventually, schools based on her philosophies sprung up throughout England, and her original training school became a college to supply teachers for the Parents’ Union Schools throughout the world. Mason developed a lifetime love of learning in her students by actively engaging children firsthand with nature, literature, science, history, art, music, and avoiding dumbed-down materials — what she referred to as twaddle — as much as possible. The content of Habits: The Mother’s Secret to Success was compiled and adapted by Deborah Taylor-Hough, long time homeschooling mother of three, author of A Twaddle-Free Education: An Introduction to Charlotte Mason’s Timeless Educational Ideas, and editor of the Charlotte Mason eMagazine. CONTENTS INCLUDE: Habit May Supplant “Nature” The Formation of Habit Childhood and Nursery Habits Habits of Mind and Morals The Habit of Attention The Habit of Obedience Habits of Truth and Temper … and more! Habits: The Mother’s Secret to Success is available in both paperback and Kindle ebook formats.

This is the what i would consider the ultimate pep talk on starting good habits. The language is great in the book, don't look for it to be in the common everyday vernacular of today's modern society tho. Great read I will keep it on my kindle.

I normally read books on time management expecting to see scientific data and business examples. This book approached the subject from a mother's point of view teaching her children and having what we now call a Christian world view. Great wisdom packed into an easy read and the book suggestions at the end were a p!us too.

This is an excellent book for someone wanting to read Charlotte Mason's philosophies on habits without actually reading her original books. The language was a little difficult for me, and I had to read the text slowly in order to reflect and figure out how to apply each idea to myself and my children. I read the negative reviews and believe I might also have felt frustrated or disappointed if I was not already familiar with the Charlotte Mason method of education and with some of her philosophy.

I would recommend this book to anyone hoping to get a better handle on the raising of their children and the running of their home. It was very informative and helpful, with many practical ways to apply each idea that was presented.....a must read !

I have a new found appreciation for Nature and studying her. There are so many lessons in her beauty that is outside the realms of subjections and books. Nature is here to care for us and educate us. We can all take a lesson from Charlotte Mason and her emphasis on Nature Study. On the surface we learn about the animals, plants, trees and waterways. But there is so much more to be learned. We learn powerful skills of observation, curiosity, compassion, empathy, survival, passion and nurturing. Along with these skills even academic lessons can be learned from science to geography, to gross and fine motor skills. I agree with Charlotte Mason that this is important to everyone and the earliest exposure the better.This book has left a everlasting impression on me and now with this grounding, I am looking forward to try anew with my children. We are going to learn and appreciate her together.

Charlotte Mason gentle approach in teaching children good habits.

This was a great reminder of how important it is for children to form good habits early in life in order to have good success later.

Every stay at home Mom should read this. I have proven this to be true over my 30 year career as a stay at home, homeschooling Mom and Grandma.
