In this Principle, Charlotte discusses ways in which we tend to ENCROACH upon the personality of children. 

Encroachment is defined as “to enter by gradual steps or by stealth into the possessions or rights of another” or “to advance beyond the usual or proper limits.” 

Whoa! Those are strong words! Have you ever considered that, as a parent, you might be encroaching upon your child’s RIGHTS? I certainly never did – until I read this chapter! It’s quite an eye-opener!

Charlotte gives us a LONG LIST of things NOT TO DO when requiring obedience from our children. We’ll cover each one in the video.

But don’t get discouraged! In the next Principle, Charlotte tells us what we CAN do – in fact – what we MUST do as parents to ensure that our child receives the education that he deserves.
