For the Children's Sake

Foundations of Education for Home and School

By: Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

Narrated by: Pamela Klein

Every parent and teacher wants to give his or her children the best education possible. They hope that the teaching they provide is a joyful adventure, a celebration of life, and preparation for living. But sadly, most education today falls short of this goal.

For the Children's Sake imagines what education can be based on a Christian understanding of the meaning of life and what it means to be human—a child, a parent, a teacher. The central ideas have been proven over many years and in almost every kind of educational situation, including ideas that author Susan Schaeffer Macaulay and her husband, Ranald, have implemented in their own family and school experience. Includes a foreword by daughter and educator Fiona Fletcher.

A guide for all who interact with children

As a parent, this way of raising up and enjoying children and life together is life giving. Wonderful how truth lived out gives life abundantly. The narrator is pleasant to listen to. Please read for the sake of all children and adults alike.

Excellent book!

If you are considering homeschooling or just wanting to improve on your parenting skills, this is a very worthwhile read.

Wonderful Book

One of the best homeschooling books out there. Would recommend even if you don’t homeschool but just have children or even just interact with kids.

encouragement for the Charlotte Mason homeschool journey

this book is encouraging for Christian families who homeschool or also Charlotte Mason homeschool families. You do not need to be a Christian to read this book, it mentions Christianity, but I believe it's more about Charlotte Mason's philosophy of learning at home. it's encouraging when I am constantly second guessing how my kids are currently learning - they thrive in the outdoor setting so this was such a great reminder that they are learning what they need to learn at their own pace.

overall I highly recommend.

Thank you!!!!

I really loved this book. I loved who read it. I am a huge fan of Charlotte Mason, but I've found the six volume set overwhelming as someone new to Charlotte Mason. this was such a beautiful introduction to Charlotte Mason: full of helpful tips, suggestions, practicality, and wisdom. I highly suggest this book to anyone new to Charlotte Mason or would just like to learn more about this amazing educator. Five stars!!!
