About This Workshop

If you're exhausted from raising a strong-willed child, you've heard the reassuring words: “She'll resist peer pressure! He's a born leader!” These ideas offer comfort—but what if they prove false? Charlotte Mason understood the defiant child doesn't have a strong will at all, but a weak one, dominated by emotions and impulses. As a mom of five sons, some who “qualified” as “strong-willed,” this insight changed everything. Discover the truth popular teaching has gotten wrong and come away with hope and practical methods aligned with Scripture.
