Habits I want to instil in my children

Charlotte Mason speaks alot about how important it is to intil good habits in our children when they're young. Most of what we do each day is based on habits, so let's make sure they're good ones!



These are some of the habits I want to instill in my kids over the next few years (this is an open list, and will keep growing I'm sure!)


  • First time obedience

  • Scripture memorisation and application in daily life:

This week we're memorising Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!" Next week we'll be doing "Be kind to one another" (I'll have to find the reference!)



  • Eating only at mealtimes and snacktimes (NOT throughout the day).

  • Three juicecups per child per day, placed where they can reach them so that they can help themselves.

  • The habit of kindness towards others.
