What Charlotte Mason Says Children Should Do All Day

What are the areas where we as parents make active choices to structure our kids’ time? Having a plan for the early years is important. While young kids don’t need strict schedules, having a daily rhythm is helpful for many children and their families.  We want our children to build relationships: with the natural world, with their family, with the community they live in. Fortunately, Charlotte Mason gives us lots of suggestions for what to incorporate into those rhythms in order to prioritize our children’s opportunities to make meaningful connections. In this episode, we discuss many of Charlotte Mason’s ideas. We do move quickly because there is much to cover! Be sure to listen for comments on outdoor play, reading together, foreign language, singing, and handicrafts.
