I have a curly kid, do you?

Aside from the field trips and informal lessons we are doing now, some of the most important learning for James at this age is character development and responsibility (habits). Actually, I will continue to teach these things along with the formal education. Charlotte Mason calls it laying down the rails and stressed the importance of teaching habits to children. She said that "laying down the rails" at an early age would lead to smototh and easy days down the road. One lesson that I will work on with James is grooming. He has a beautiful head of curly hair and I am teaching him to LOVE his curls. He KNOWS I think he is super handsome when he has "crazy hair". I am teaching him to spray his hair in the morning with the lavender water I made and comb it with a wide-toothed comb. Spraying hair is super fun! It makes him laugh. Curly hair requires special attention. For him, I am using Devacurl products and methods for caring for curly hair. If you have a curly kid, I highly recommend their products. They make a great handbook too. :)
