Discover the secret to smooth and easy days! "The mother who takes pains to endow her children with good habits secures for herself smooth and easy days." - Charlotte Mason. Charlotte likened good habits to rails on which our children's lives could run smoothly. It is the parent's business to lay down those rails. Here, compiled into one volume, are all the habits Charlotte mentioned in her writings with her thoughts and suggestions for cultivating each one. This work also includes Charlotte's help for breaking bad habits, hundreds of inspiring quotes, and lots of practical tips. - Publisher.
