When Children Love to Learn A Practical Application of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy for Today

Summary: They're hallmarks of childhood. The endless "why" questions. Thedesire to touch and taste everything. The curiosity and theobservations. It can't be denied-children have an inherent desire to know.Teachers and parents can either encourage this naturalinquisitiveness or squelch it. There is joy in the classroom whenchildren learn-not to take a test, not to get a grade, not tocompete with each other, and not to please ...their parents or theirteachers-but because they want to know about the world aroundthem! Both Christian educators and parents will find proven help increating a positive learning atmosphere through methods pioneeredby Charlotte Mason that show how to develop a child's natural loveof learning. The professional educators, administrators, and Masonsupporters contributing to this volume give useful applicationsthat work in a variety of educational settings, from Christianschools to homeschools.
