Fostering the Spiritual Dimension of Education in Young Children.
Webster, Derek
Early Child Development and Care, v146 p13-20 Jul 1998
Examines the spiritual dimension of the education of young children, focusing on its role in education in Great Britain, the lack of definitions of "spiritual," and how parents and educators can foster young children's spiritual development. Maintains that in order to convey the mystery of life to young children, adults need to perceive the paradox within themselves. (Author/KB)
