The Habit of Obedience

I recently was reading some of Charlotte Mason's writings on Habit Training, specifically on Obedience.  This is an area I feel like we struggle in, among others.  So here is a little nugget that struck me:

To secure this habit of obedience, the mother must

exercise great self-restraint; she must never give a command

which she does not intend to see carried out to the full. And she

must not lay upon her children burdens, grievous to be borne, of

command heaped upon command.
