A Thinking Love

"The mother is qualified," says Pestalozzi, "and qualified by the Creator Himself, to become the principal agent in the development of her child; ... and what is demanded of her is––a thinking love ... God has given to the child all the faculties of our nature, but the grand point remains undecided––how shall this heart, this head, these hands be employed? to whose service shall they be dedicated? A question the answer to which involves a futurity of happiness or misery to a life so dear to thee. Maternal love is the first agent in education."

We are a group of mommas eager to learn and grow in our understanding of Charlotte Mason's Philosophy, which guides us into 'thinking love'.
We have just finished reading In Vital Harmony, by Karen Glass, and are currently joining along in the Modern Miss Mason Readalong, sharing our learning experiences and insights.
