Formation of Character: Charlotte Mason Original Series Vol. 5

Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) was 100 years ahead of her time in developing an educational philosophy that stressed bringing broad and stimulating education to a child in a noncompetitive, Biblically-based way. Her timeless, practical insights and her emphasis on the responsibility of the home have made her a founding influence in the homeschooling movement.

Formation of Character delves into shaping the child’s personality through incidental, rather than structured, education and circumstances. In this collection of mainly living stories you will gain wisdom for many areas of everyday life, including

dealing with temper tantrums;
helping a child learn to pay attention and focus;
curbing sulking and pouting or the cold-shoulder treatment;
handling a child who repeatedly lies or forgets what he has been told;
getting the most out of holidays and vacation times;
guiding graduated children still living at home.
