| Summary |
"This book takes an in-depth look at the concept of spirituality and its continual expression in children." "Focusing on enhancing the spiritual dimension of children's daily lives, the authors explore key issues in understanding children's spirituality under three broad headings: children's voices - how the child's spiritual voice can be lost in contemporary society and what the implications of that loss are; children's worlds - how children draw on the spiritual as a means of addressing notions of meaning and value in life; and children's lives - how context shapes the spiritual dimension. Each chapter concludes with a variety of practical suggestions for those working with children to help them recognize and nurture their spirituality." |

"Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, this accessible book will enrich the working practices of educators and other professionals who work with children, and will also be relevant to parents and anyone interested in children's spirituality."--BOOK JACKET |
