Presents a perspective of what spirituality for children might represent in early childhood settings. This book offers practical ways to encourage a sense of spirituality.
Authors Patrice Thomas and Vanna Lockwood suggest that children's spirituality is evidenced in their sense of self, the connections they establish with others and their search for meaning in life. Educators and carers can support and encourage these aspects of a child's life to increase wellbeing, compassion and inclusivity.
Nurturing the spiritual child provides:
- strategies for embracing spirituality in programs
- activities for practising spirituality with children
- case studies from centres that have embraced spirituality
Nurturing children's spiritual development strengthens an understanding of and interaction with their own life, the lives of others and the changing world they live in.
