“There is no education but self-education.”
― Charlotte Mason

What is self-education? Self-education is when we mother's take the time to learn about our interests and more.

As mother-teachers, it is really important that we continue with our education so that we can be ready to answer questions our children may have. It also helps us get excited about a subject and therefore motivate our children in the topic.

I personally like to use the following resources to self-educate myself:

1. Books: Books are the best resource to learn about a topic. Many moms here on Instagram share all the wonderful books they are reading. You can ask a mom what book she recommends on a specific topic.

2. Podcasts/YouTube: Podcasts and YouTube are a great way for me learn about a specific topic for free! For Charlotte Mason, I love to listen to the Simply Charlotte Mason podcast, and on YouTube, I typically watch/listen to Christian apologetics shows.

3. Courses: There really is only one membership course that I recommend for learning about the Charlotte Mason method and that is the Commonplace House @thecommonplacehomeschool. This membership has hours worth of material to help you learn about the Charlotte Mason method and how to apply it in your own home.

4. Experience: as time goes on, you will learn what best works for you. What rhythm and strategies work for you. Time will give you the wisdom needed to run a home and raise your children.

What other methods do you use to self-educate?
