Instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/educationalrenaissance.com\/2019\/12\/21\/marketing-manipulations-and-true-classroom-leadership\/\">manipulating behaviors<\/a> to serve the teacher\u2019s or parent&#8217;s needs, habit training seeks to benefit the child, providing them with inspiring ideas to promote their well being and future happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The empowerment of student growth comports with the classical focus on the <strong>development of virtues<\/strong>. In addition, recent research has highlighted the benefits of habit formation, delineating the neurology and mechanics of acquiring good habits. It\u2019s surprising, then, to find how relevant Charlotte Mason\u2019s thoughts are, given that she wrote her philosophy of education over 100 years ago! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1911\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/educationalrenaissance.com\/2021\/02\/27\/human-development-part-1-what-do-you-have-in-mind\/guide-to-implementing-habit-training-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1911\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationalrenaissance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Guide-to-Implementing-Habit-Training-1.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you enjoy your free copy of this eBook!
