Just found your channel, am now eagerly devouring your podcast episodes, and ordered Home Education by Charlotte Mason a few days ago. I wanted to thank you for helping me truly understand a classical Charlotte Mason education because this is exactly what I've been praying for for my 4-year old!
I love your content. We are in our second year of Ambleside, but I've been studying Mason's educational philosophy since my oldest was a newborn. And your podcast and RUclips videos are my new favorite resources to share with people who want to know what a Charlotte Mason education is. Thank you!
Every one of your videos I watch, I can’t help but wonder the titles of the books behind you! Maybe you have done a podcast episode on your favorite books, but if not, could you do a video on it? Could be books that relate to Charlotte Mason, or just any good books in general. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!! I always enjoy your videos
Binge-watching the Principles videos over semester break and noticing the progress of your bookshelves in the background. 😆 Is the thicker yellow/tan book at your ear level Hurlbut's Bible Stories?
I posted on social media about the will. I dared post that those commending a “strong willed child” were just copping out because parenting is too hard for them😅😅 Torches were thrown. Flames, there were flames …
IS there a video on the overemphasis on individualism that came out of the enlightenment?? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that! It's one of my soapboxes. 😌
Sorry about that! I used to try to keep those affiliate links going and then realised I really don't care about affiliate links so stopped using them! But in my Home Librarian series I talk about books quite a lot!
Please help me understand how to support my child. My child has ADHD and attends a school based on the Charlotte Mason philosophy. How can I help my child concentrate in a classroom with 10 children?
I'm not able to speak to ADHD specifically but there are a few podcast episodes that might help: homeschooling.mom/the-charlotte-mason-show/s7-e9-adhd-and-the-charlotte-mason-model-jeannie-fulbright simplycharlottemason.com/blog/charlotte-mason-homeschooling-with-adhd/
@@PlasmaSpeedos haha! Oh thank you so much for clearing this up for me, I kept hearing it and was trying to understand it in context but I was still missing it! 😅 I live in Australia so we have a different name/acronym for this haha!
It seems like charlotte mason is a very liberal arts track to education. What place do STEM subjects have in a Classical charlotte Mason education? From what I have seen, very little emphasis is put on those topics.
So glad Megan pointed you there! I haven't listened to that episode but gladly bow out if Sonya has some thoughts! For my side, pulling from the classical tradition, the liberal arts include the quadrivium and the four sciences. This includes mathematics and natural sciences. (It's not just poetry and Latin!) Technology is, of course, a new part of the current classical revival.

Corrina! Welcome! I'm so happy to have you here (and especially over at the podcast which is my favorite thing!). Enjoy that first read of Home Ed!
This was so awesome! It was my first time hearing your material. I like it. Thanks!
Happy to have you here!
I've watched a lot of Charlotte Mason videos before. This is so so good.
Oh, thank you!

Kelsie, thank you! I'm always encouraged to hear from another student of Mason that they enjoy the podcast/videos! (It's a good sign, you know?)
You're one of the few channels I cannot play on 2 times speed 😅 love it though.
Hahaha, no, I've been told-for about thirty years or so-that I'm quite the fast talker. Habits run deep, you know.
"My birthday is in about 7.5 months" 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness loved this episode, mind blown a few times. Thank you !
I mean, it’s basically next week. *adds to cart*

I've had some other requests to share more about the books behind me! I'd love to! Reading is one of my favorite things!

Hahah, a hilarious observation! I believe the one you're seeing is The Complete Works of Aristotle.

Torches were thrown. Flames, there were flames …
Oh, I can imagine. It’s a difficult change in how you see and support a child!
IS there a video on the overemphasis on individualism that came out of the enlightenment?? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that! It's one of my soapboxes. 😌
Ah, for sure there is...just not from me! Have you read Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self? You might enjoy that one.
The links to amazon don't work :/ do you have a new link to your library for you and your kids by any chance? Thanks

I second this Charlotte Mason “dictionary” that you speak of! 😂 I am still trying to understand what “PNU” (if I have understood correctly) is 😅?
Or could it have been “peer new” ? 😫😂
The Parents' National Educational Union (abbreviated PNEU)
Yep! Teamwork!

I am sure Autumn will address your question, but I recently listened to Simply Charlotte Mason's videos on CM and STEM that I really enjoyed.

This is very much off topic, but what does your tattoo say? It looks like Hebrew letters 😁
The one on my wrist says “beloved”!
Holy smokes you talk quick. Lol 😂
Indeed, I do. Particularly when I record because I'm always racing against my kids' mischief. ;)
Seriously!! I had to double-check that the video was set to normal playback speed instead of x1.25!
