009: Medical Dramas, Synthetic Knowledge, Obedience, #3bookstack
In this episode, we share why we took a short break from the podcast and talked about a myriad of topics yet again.
***Books, TV, Movie, Song, Anything Review***
We shared our love for medical drama and theorized why the "new" and popular Netflix medical drama is not working for us. We talked about the show Parenthood and why we believe it is a must-see for all parents out there.
***Book Club Discussion #TFPR_HomeEducation***
We finished reading Part IV: Some Habits of Mind - Some Moral Habits with the TFPR Book Club and here we share our key takeaways. We talk about thinking as a real conscious effort of mind, finding connections everywhere, touched on living books, and tried to go into more depth about obedience.
***Mama Me-Time Plans***
We talk about our #3bookstack for the week so expect a number of book titles. Angel is decluttering and will be selling some of their books and toys so check that out!

**Wall of Quotes**
"This is the sort of thing that the children should go through, more or less, in every lesson—a tracing of effect from cause, or of cause from effect; a comparing of things to find out wherein they are alike, and wherein they differ; a conclusion as to causes or consequences from certain premises."
-Charlotte Mason, *Home Education*
"Later, when the child is old enough, take him into confidence. Let him know that it's a noble thing to be able to make yourself do in a minute the thing that you don't feel like doing. To train a habit of obedience, the mother must be very careful never to give a command that she doesn't intend to enforce. At the same time, she must not burden her children with the tedious weight of one command after another."
-Charlotte Mason, *Home Education*
"There is no need to rate the child, or threaten him, or use any manner of violence, because the parent is invested with authority which the child intuitively recognises."
-Charlotte Mason, *Home Education*
"it’s not all about constant and unquestioning obedience; at least, not when that training later hinders us from acting with intelligence and courage. that, like seed without deep roots, unthinking or fear-based good conduct does not enable us to make real choices. If home or school has felt like a prison, full of arbitrary rules, without happiness or freedom, that makes it even worse. We want to escape, but in the meantime we learn not to care too much about anything. Bitter and rebellious attitudes are not the fruit of a strong character tree."
-Anne E. White, *Minds More Awake: The Vision of Charlotte Mason*
