Everyday Nature

“We must assist the child to educate himself on Nature’s lines, and we must take care not to supplant and crowd out Nature and her methods with that which we call education.

Object-lessons should be incidental; and this is where the family enjoys a great advantage over the school. The child who finds that wonderful and beautiful object, a “paper” wasp’s nest…has his lesson on the spot from father or mother.” –Parents and Children, pg. 182

  Beside the house is a palm tree; home to the noisiest night-time birds on this earth. So loud, in fact, that their twitterings and chatterings wake me at 1am. If I open the door, it's like they tell one another to hush because the human is coming!
