Training Children Before the Age of Reason

This talk explores the essential principles of raising children under the age of seven, before they reach the “age of reason” as understood in Catholic teaching. Drawing from the methods used in pet obedience training, it presents a compelling and respectful case for using clear commands, consistent correction, repetition, and a calm environment to form good habits in young children. Far from demeaning, this approach aligns with human nature and lays a firm foundation for reason, virtue, and grace to flourish as the child matures.
