Episode 23- Education is a Discipline

Description: In this podcast, Julie talks with fellow CM homeschooler Shay Kemp about the Charlotte Mason principle “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline and a life,” focusing on the concept of discipline.

Quote:

Parents and Children, Volume 2 pg 173

“...the incessant watchfulness and endeavour which go into the forming and preserving of the habits of the good life, is what we mean by discipline; and from the point of view, never were there such disciplinarians as the parents who labour on the lines we would indicate. Every habit of courtsey, consideration, order, neatness, punctuality, truthfulness, is itself a schoolmaster, and orders life with the most unfailing diligence.”

Bible Verse:

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
