Homeschooling: Charlotte Mason Education Method

All praise be to Allah SWT thanks to the Dallas Muslim Homeschooling Yahoo Group, I found information about the Charlotte Mason education method.

Here is the link: http://home.att.net/~bandcparker/cmlinks.html

Allah SWT willing I am going to read more about it.

Quotes

"Let children alone-...the education of habit is successful in so far as it enables the mother to let her children alone, not teasing them with perpetual commands and directions - a running fire of Do and Don't; but letting them go their own way and grow, having first secured that they will go the right way and grow to fruitful purpose."

"[The child] needs knowledge as much as he needs bread and milk; his appetite for knowledge is as healthy as his appetite for his dinner; and an abundant regular supply at short intervals of various knowledge is a constitutional necessity for the growing youth as well as for the curious child."
-Charlotte Mason, The Original Homeschooling Series
