In this episode, join in as we unpack principle 09 of the beloved Charlotte Mason. We address how Miss Mason rejected the idea that children were buckets to be filled with facts, and instead, that their minds are living things. Created to engage with rich knowledge. She insisted that children are born with God-given powers of the mind that simply need nourishment. 

Education, then, is not control. Itt’s trusst.

Trust in the child. Trust in the feast of ideas. And ultimately, trust in the God who designed those beautiful little minds. 

This principle challenges us to ask ourselves if we are teaching from a place of fear… or from a place of faith..
