Charlotte Mason did not limit persons and knew the scope of a child’s education was limitless in its potential for each individual. This episode of Charlotte Mason in Our Homes interviews Caroline Chermely whose son was born at 25 weeks causing multiple deficiencies and life-long limitations. Two terms of a Charlotte Mason approach has resulted in undeniable growth and possibilities now. Whether you personally must cope with a child having “special needs,” or not, this mom shares ideas with immense lessons and ramifications for every child applicable in every home.
Listen Now:
“If we have not proved that a child is born a person with a mind as complete and as beautiful as his beautiful little body, we can at least show that he always has all the mind he requires for his occasions; that is, that his mind is the instrument of his education and that his education does not produce his mind.” (6/36)
Thank you for this. Hearing other mamas of special needs kiddos is always encouraging to me. We have seen auditory processing gains also as well as other things. So excited for you and for him! May the blessings continue! 🙂
This has been so inspirational for me! I had tears in my eyes listening to your story and relating on so many counts! I have also found that Charlotte Mason’s method has helped all my children, especially my oldest (who has special needs as well). Now that I have been gifted her volumes, I am going to slowly feast on them to know more and do better next year!
