They’re hallmarks of childhood. The endless “why” questions.
The desire to touch and taste everything. The curiosity and the observations.
It can’t be denied—children have an inherent desire to know. Teachers
and parents can either encourage this natural inquisitiveness or squelch it.
There is joy in the classroom when children learn—not to take a test, not
to get a grade, not to compete with each other, and not to please their parents
or their teachers—but because they want to know about the world around
them!
Both Christian educators and parents will find proven help in creating a positive
learning atmosphere through methods pioneered by Charlotte Mason that show how
to develop a child’s natural love of learning. The professional educators,
administrators, and Mason supporters contributing to this volume give useful
applications that work in a variety of educational settings, from Christian
schools to homeschools.
