“If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would only have courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would be able to hold herself in ‘wise passiveness,’ and would not fret her children by continual interference, even of hand or eye––she would let them be.” (3/33-34)

Thank you for this episode. It will be such a blessing for so many families, including my own. Matt, was your Scouting talk recorded? If so, could you share it? My husband, a third generation Eagle Scout and new-to-CM dad, would love to hear it. Thanks!
I loved this podcast! I really appreciated hearing “the dad’s” perspective. Thank you so much. My husband looks forward to listening to it too. Great idea!
Autumn, we hope your husband also enjoys that episode and joins the growing ranks of dads involved in a CM education for their children.
