"The mother who takes pains to endow her children with good habits secures for herself smooth and easy days; while she who lets their habits take care of themselves has a weary life of endless friction with the children." Charlotte Mason
It brings me encouragement on the days that it seems "never-ending" or "will they ever get it?"..... It brings confirmation that my role as Mom is one of great importance and significance. And it summarizes what we are to do with our children- train in habits. I am a fan of Charlotte Mason and her philosophy with education and parenting. She was an educator in the early 1900's and one wise woman full of insight!

Excellent motivation for those times when you just want to throw in the towel and shout, "I quit!!!"
