Do you feel like your brain is always running in a dozen directions? Have you found that the most difficult part of completing a Charlotte Mason short lesson is that you struggle to stay on task for twenty minutes straight? Do you habitually lose precious minutes of school time trying to get your student’s head out of the clouds? Or maybe you have been caught in a battle of wills with your child when they don’t feel like doing math or listening to you read or completing that copywork page. We are living in a world characterized by distraction, and no one is above the disordering effect this can have on our lives. Now more than ever we need a recovery of what Charlotte Mason called “the habit of attention”.
Join mother-teacher Amanda Faus for a webinar where, through the writings of Charlotte Mason, St. Basil the Great, and other great voices from the classical tradition, we will learn about the nature of attention, the path to recovering yourself from organized distraction, and the tools needed to teach this valuable habit to your children.
“The highest intellectual gifts depend for their value upon the measure in which their owner has cultivated the habit of attention.”
