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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis stimulating book will encourage educators, parents and others involved in teaching children to consider new approaches to foster children's natural spiritual development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843103710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843103714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.34w x 0.56d","brand":"David Hay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938914402559,"sku":"9781843103714","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d646ed72-bc86-4ffb-83ed-b657ce8dbabf.jpg?v=1681438420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-the-child-david-hay-9781843103714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
