It gives me somewhere to start with my littles in terms of analyzing a historical or literary persons's character--we have discussed virtue and vice, but the importance of the development of the will in a CM education ties their own habit training to the reading they do in history and literature. (Not that I would hand off this chart for my 6yos to complete! But it gives me an organizing principle for our "grand conversations." :))Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-55751673617085887582013-05-14T07:44:39.424-07:002013-05-14T07:44:39.424-07:00Not only is it helpful to apply the way of the wil...Not only is it helpful to apply the way of the will to guiding our children, but also to ourselves! It is definitely not an act of sudden resolve, but God can help fortify the will when our hearts and minds are turned toward our Father in heaven. I love Laurie's chart, and it makes me wish I had attended her talk!walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-61855447182803822232013-05-14T07:43:15.915-07:002013-05-14T07:43:15.915-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-41552546397732917992010-10-19T15:33:17.135-07:002010-10-19T15:33:17.135-07:00I can't wait to read the Way of the Will chapt...I can't wait to read the Way of the Will chapter. <br /><br />I think I am going to write out a chart for myself for starters.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be awesome for our kids to begin to do this automatically when they have struggles!<br /><br />Thanks!Little Homeschool Blessingshttp://littlehomeschoolblessings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-71360316258848605182010-10-15T09:41:34.983-07:002010-10-15T09:41:34.983-07:00Wow Nancy, this is certainly a thought provoking p...Wow Nancy, this is certainly a thought provoking post. I think I am going to have to spend a bit of time going through 'The Way of the Will' At one of my CM study groups, it was mentioned that a 'stong willed' child did not have a stong will at all, rather a weak one as they repeatedly give in to their own desires. Very interesting. A subject that deserves re-visiting.

Who we are as people seriously affects how we parent. My habits will very directly affect adversely or positively the habit training I hope to confer to my children.<br /><br />It is painful to be forced to examine ourselves in this way... but SO vitally necessary.<br /><br />I keep coming back to the whole subject of habit training... my own as well as that of my kiddos. Big work.
