Formation of Character delves into shaping the child’s personality through incidental, rather than structured, education and circumstances. In this collection of mainly living stories, you will gain wisdom for many areas of everyday life, including:

  • dealing with temper tantrums
  • helping a child learn to pay attention and focus
  • curbing sulking and pouting or the cold-shoulder treatment
  • handling a child who repeatedly lies or forgets what he has been told
  • getting the most out of holidays and vacation times
  • guiding graduated children still living at home

Product Description

Her timeless, practical insights and her emphasis on the responsibility of the home have made her a founding influence in the homeschooling movement.

“Education in morals the young people must get at home, or not at all. The chief of their duties is the duty they owe to their parents: from this stem, all other duties, to kindred, commonwealth, and neighbours, branch out.” —Charlotte Mason

“Teachers owe much to Charlotte Mason’s deep insight into child psychology and to the new principles in character building and mind training which she advocated. The gratitude of [those] who have profited by her counsel will be her enduring memorial.”—Elizabeth R., Her Majesty the Queen Mother of England
