A Charlotte Mason Moment
“Thinking, like writing or skating, comes by practice. The child who never has thought, never does think, and probably never will think; for are there not people enough who go through the world without any deliberate exercise of their own wits? The child must think, get at the reason-why of things for himself, every day of his life, and more each day than the day before.” (Home Education by Charlotte M. Mason Vol. I, pp. 153, 154)
