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 spirituality in education needs to overcome
traditional approaches and should adopt a theory of spirituality
that includes religion but is not confined to it. This stimulating
book will encourage educators, parents and others involved in
teaching children to consider new approaches to foster children's
natural spiritual development.
