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.
A practical follow-up to Crossway's For the Children's Sake , this book follows a tradition of giving serious thought to what education is, so that children will be learning for life and for everlasting life.
