    Ivy Insights

    The Thinking Love podcast hosted by Amy and Leah is an absolute gem for anyone interested in the Charlotte Mason philosophy of homeschooling. As a listener, I have been captivated by their beautiful and inspiring conversations about this educational approach. Whether you are currently homeschooling or not, this podcast is a true delight that leaves you feeling equipped and encouraged in your parenting journey.

    One of the best aspects of The Thinking Love podcast is the incredible chemistry between Amy and Leah. Their rhythm in their conversations is truly a joy to listen to. It feels like you are chatting with friends who are passionate about the same educational philosophy as you. They do an excellent job of explaining Charlotte Mason's ideas in a way that is easily understandable and applicable to your own home situation. Even if you have read some of Charlotte Mason's volumes, listening to this podcast will reignite your excitement for her teachings and motivate you to dive back into her works.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to provide thought-provoking content while also being encouraging. Amy and Leah guide and inform listeners on how to effectively homeschool using the Charlotte Mason method. They offer a balanced perspective, incorporating modern studies, books, and research that are relevant today. This gives listeners a well-rounded understanding of how to implement this educational approach in their own lives. Additionally, they share their personal journey as mothers navigating homeschooling from a biblical perspective with a Charlotte Mason approach, which adds an authentic touch to the podcast.

    While it's difficult to find any flaws with The Thinking Love podcast, some listeners may be looking for more diverse perspectives on the Charlotte Mason philosophy. While Amy and Leah do an excellent job of presenting Miss Mason's method, it would be interesting to hear from other voices within the homeschooling community who follow this educational philosophy as well.

    In conclusion, The Thinking Love podcast is an amazing resource for anyone interested in homeschooling through the lens of the Charlotte Mason philosophy. From their beautiful conversations to their practical advice, Amy and Leah provide an invaluable resource for parents. Their balanced approach, encouragement to think critically about ideas, and permission to accept or reject certain aspects of the philosophy make this podcast a must-listen for homeschoolers. I eagerly look forward to future episodes and the wealth of knowledge they will continue to share.

    Join Amy and Leah as they wrap up this podcast season with a discussion on manners. How can we teach our kids to be polite? And while we're at it, how can we help them learn to be the kind of people who are thoughtful and considerate toward others? As Charlotte Mason homeschoolers, our first inclination is to reach for a book - but with manners, that's not always the best option. We chat about making abstract manners tangible for our kids, doing the work of parenting, and helping our kids learn to live well with others - and when to pull in the books!

    As our children learn to read and write, their first attempts at spelling are endearing. But at a certain point, we may start to wonder when and how to teach spelling.  With Charlotte Mason, learning to spell is integrated into many parts of the curriculum, including reading lessons, copywork, and dictation. Together, these lessons help our children learn how to spell by engaging with words in context and encouraging them to study the words closely. Join Amy and Leah as they untangle this multifaceted approach to teaching spelling. Full show notes available at: https://thinkinglove.education/2022/11/10/spelling-copywork-dictation/

    Raising Independent Learners

    Charlotte Mason hoped that children, educated upon many, beautiful ideas and supported in good habits, would grow up to continue learning their whole lives. With that in mind, educating our children is a dynamic process that moves toward this big picture. We choose books, plan lessons, and teach our kids, but as they get bigger, we start working on habits of independent learning, too. In this episode, Amy and Leah chat about why Year 4 gets a lot of attention in Charlotte Mason circles, why this doesn't mean we need to panic, and how we are helping our children grow as independent learners through reading their own school books and starting written narration. Leah also informs Amy about a slightly contentious topic in the Charlotte Mason world! Full Show Notes available at https://thinkinglove.education/2022/10/27/raising-independent-learners/

Karen was removing distracting, outdated references, adding back in some essays that had been moved to other volumes, and writing some study questions to help the modern reader see the principles behind Miss Mason's writing. Karen has now published her book, A Thinking Love: Studies from Charlotte Mason's Home Education. Congratulations, Karen, we love the title!
