i am noticing that my 3 yo does all of the little hearts stuff with us (left side). she is doing that as well as her LHTH activities. she turns 4 in february. those of you who have used Beyond: do you think she could tag along with us and do the left side of Beyond next year with her big sister? And...

Thanks!

Hello! i want to start a LHFHG yahoo group, unless one already exists of which i am not aware. would anyone be interested?

i've had another book do that, but not this one. depending on how long ago you bought it, CLP might be willing to replace it.

In trying to stay in accordance with CM philosophy (as well as common sense that small children need to have plenty of time outdoors), how do you balance outdoor time with school? i have found i am going to have to re-do my schedule to allow for more outside play and was curious how you all handle t...

thanks everyone!! i am so excited to have all these titles! now, i just need a steady supply of hot chocolate and a way to work in an hour of reading into my schedule each day.

If your child is a very visual child then the lack of pictures may be the problem. You can photocopy the picture of Reddy from the cover or one of the illustrations, laminate and tape him to a popsicle stick. Then yoru son can "act out" along with the story (i.e. make his little Reddy run back and ...

thanks ladies!! i will find them today!!

okay, i may be the voice of dissent here, but i will speak up. :wink: i love the books, as do both my 3 yo and 5 yo. but my opinion is this: while i think they might take some getting used to, if, after several reading sessions, he still does not like them, i think i would read him something else. t...

thanks, daisy! that actually makes a lot of sense because my educational philosophy leans more toward classical than it does toward unit studies and such. my problem with classical education is that it is a little too humanistic for me...almost like knowledge is the god - the end you are seeking. i ...

thanks Daisy! i'll check those out. for some reason, i am not as impressed with Beechick's ideals as i am with the CM philosophy. i know they are similar on some levels, but i just can't get into the Beechick thing. am i crazy?

it is a good overview of her ideals written by another lady who used them in her home. it is really inexpensive on ebay (less than $4 if i remember correctly) and has a ton of wisdom woven throughout it. i am very impressed and inspired by CM's ideals and longing to get my hands on more. i can't say...

okay i'm almost done with For the Children's Sake. does anyone have any other good book recommendations? i would like to read cm's own actual writings, but am not sure if that is the next rational step or not... any suggestions?

Agreeing with the other defintions but will add that we also consider mass-marketed advertising-based books in the twaddle category. Agreed! Too bad, my dd really wanted to like those Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie, and Care Bear books but they were just awful! Leah where is the nodding yes emoticon ...
