  • Episode 350: Geography Part 2, The Early Years
    Oct 9 2026

    Charlotte Mason had great faith in us mothers to know what to teach our children and how. She said, "but the mother will find a hundred opportunities to teach geography by the way." Indeed, the whole field of Pictorial Geography may be covered in this way. So stay tuned to today's podcast to hear her ideas on how to go about this daunting feat while our children are still in the early years.
