Ep 02 | Remember, Remember, Remember

Young children like things repeated and unchanged. They also love to know things, memorizing what they’ve heard in an almost effortless way. These are the trademark characteristics of the grammar stage in a classical education. As a child memorizes, they form natural relationships with the world around them and learn to love what they know. It’ll happen whether or not you offer them noble ideas, meaning their memories can be full of beauty or full of junk. It can be Bach or Cardi B, but something will fill and form your child’s memory, and that will shape their heart’s affections. Let’s talk about it. ______Don’t forget you can get the episode notes straight to your inbox via A Commonplace Note. Or you can find them here.
