CD five of The Family Series by Marian T. Horvat
For girls ages 5 to 11, it is most important for parents to foster the spirit of generosity and a curb over first impulses. Dr. Horvat explains why this is so. She also looks at these other important topics:
- The father’s important role in preserving his daughter’s innocence, modesty and femininity.
- Establishing the proper balance between affection and authority in the relations of a father with his daughter.
- The mother’s crucial role in exercising discipline and fostering the spirit of sacrifice.
- The mother’s need to understand her daughter in order to encourage her good inclinations and curb the bad ones.
- The importance of instilling a love for beauty and a disgust for the vulgar.
- The value of directing the tendencies of the daughter toward the marvelous and sublime.
- Avoiding overindulgence as well as excessive severity.
The premise is established that the vocation of the woman was destined by God primarily to be a wife and mother. Then the Catholic home is presented as her primary realm of action. 50 min.
