ealp2009 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Any one used this and have a quick review? I have looked at it a couple of times but I would love to here some personal experiences.

lanalouwho Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Following...I think we're going to work through the sample to get a feel for it. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keirin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have it, but haven't used it much. I'm considering other character building programs since I've found it a bit hard to implement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulalu Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 It covers a lot- more than what normally is considered character. I find that part nice. There is a lot for the habits, broken into smaller chunks for lessons. I find it easy to pick and choose. It requires staying on top of what you are doing since there is so much. And reviewing and going back takes organization too. I am glad we have it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I loved it when I had two preschoolers running around. I never "did lessons" or anything....just used it as a tool for self-reflection about what I needed to be as a mother. Any tim U pull it out and flip through I A--see from my notes a desperately sleepy mother :laugh: and B--there's always something that I go "oh, yeah!" It was worth the price for me, in the end, but I wouldn't get the new things they have to go with the main book. Especially if you have read all of CM's 6 volumes.

thelucc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I debated getting it for awhile (it has been about 4 years since I got it), but I wasn't super impressed with it. I thought it was good for understanding what the habits were, and sort of how to tackle them. But if I recall correctly, I didn't get much out of it. Maybe not super helpful, lol. I did however, find a really great resource that I think has already made a change in my children after a few weeks of implementing, and that is the Family Virtues Guide. So good! Check it out if you're looking for more character building options. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateCake Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Laying Down the Rails is for you to gain insight. If you've read CM's writing you don't really need it imho. I use Laying Down the Rails for Children as a guidebook to help me work on habit-training with my kids. The "lessons" are mostly stories and poems (with some activity suggestions) that you discuss with your kids. It covers a large span of ages so I end up skipping some lessons.
