Hay, David, 1935-2014.
The spirit of the child / David Hay with Rebecca Nye. - Rev. ed. - London ; Philadelphia : Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2006. - 1 online resource (223 pages)
"First published in 1998 by HarperCollins Religious"--Title page verso.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-212) and index.
What is spirituality and why is it important? -- The social destruction of spirituality -- Children's spirituality : what we know already -- A geography of the spirit -- How do you talk with children about spirituality? -- Listening to children talking -- Identifying the core of children's spirituality -- The naturalness of relational consciousness -- Nurturing the spirit of the child -- Developments since 1998.
Spirituality is increasingly acknowledged to be an essential part of child development. David Hay argues for the inclusion of spiritual awareness as a cross-curricular element in the school syllabus to promote the development of morality and social cohesion. While culturally constructed pressures and the decline in institutional religion have led to the suppression of spiritual expression, children are, the author maintains, capable of profound and meaningful beliefs from an early age. A three-year research study into young children's spirituality and its survival value informs Hay's view that.
