Children are born persons
Charlotte Mason’s 20 principles of education began with one profound and fundamental truth: “Children are born persons.” In other words, children do not need to become something to grow into a whole person with a unique personality, interests, and so on. Education is not meant to shape them into what we desire as their parents and educators—a slightly different mold of ourselves—but to help them continue their growth into the person they were meant to be since their creation.
Enjoy reminding yourself of this hearty truth from the O.G. herself every time you glance at your shelf or wall—wherever you place this fine piece of artful inspiration.
