Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from Him.
Psalm 127:3 NLT
We adopt concepts and principles of educating children that were articulated by Charlotte Mason such as respecting a child as a born person, teaching them habits, valuing relationships and the affirmation and commitment “I am, I can, I ought and I will.”
Charlotte Mason, painted by Frederic Yates, 1902
I am a child of God
I ought to do His will
I can do what He tells me
And by His grace I will
