Parent notes
The Silver Chair provides strong thematic connections to Christian discipleship, particularly regarding the importance of holding fast to truth when sensory experiences or hostile surroundings tempt someone to forget what they know to be true. Parents can use Puddleglum's steadfastness as a memorable illustration of faith under mental and spiritual pressure.
