Book excerpt: In a culture that has lost touch with love, compassion, and meaning, how can parents be intentional about building a spiritual foundation for their children’s development? In looking to their own upbringing for guidance, parents often feel even more at a loss—they don’t want to make the same mistakes their parents did, so they either become too strict, or they take a completely hands-off approach. A pastor, a teacher, and a mother, Karen Marie Yust offers a refreshing array of resources and provisions to guide and sustain parents and children on thier mutual journey. Drawn from a three-year study of children’s spirituality, as well as the best in theological tradition and literature, Real Kids, Real Faith provides insight and a variety of helpful tips for nurturing children’s spiritual and religious formation. Yust challenges the prevailing notion that children are unable to grasp religious concepts and encourages parents to recognize children as capable of authentic faith.

Book excerpt: Trends and skills for those who offer pastoral care Christian pastoral care has changed a great deal in the past few decades in response to many factors in our rapidly changing world. In part 1 of Nurturing Hope, Lynne Baab discusses seven trends in pastoral care--shifts in who delivers pastoral care, the attitudes and commitments that undergird pastoral care, and societal trends that are shaping pastoral care today. She illustrates them with stories from diverse congregations where Christian caregivers are meeting those challenges in creative and exciting ways. In the second half of the book, Baab presents four practical, doable, energizing skills needed by pastoral carers in our time. Focusing on skills that help carers nurture connections between everyday life and Christian faith, she explores the need for carers to understand common stressors, listen, pray with others, and nurture their personal resilience. Grounded in an understanding of God as the true caregiver and healer, the author offers tips for readers who are training other pastoral carers or developing their own understanding and skills. Each chapter ends with discussion and reflection questions, making the book helpful for groups. Lynne Baab brings readers hope for their caring role and for their own spiritual journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's spiritual development is currently a hot topic in Christian circles, as well as in other fields and disciplines such as educational psychology, medicine, developmental psychology, education, and sociology. The key question for Christian scholars and educators is How do Christian beliefs and practices uniquely interrelate with children's spirituality? In 2003 and again in 2006, a national conference entitled Children's Spirituality Conference: Christian Perspectives examined children's spirituality from a distinctly Christian standpoint. This book is a collection of the best materials from the 2006 conference. The first half of the book addresses definitional, historical, and theological concerns related to spiritual development in children. The second half explores best practices for fostering spiritual growth among our children--in our homes, families, churches, Christian schools, and among special populations of children--from a wide spectrum of Christian scholars and practitioners. The volume closes with John Westerhoff's moving keynote address and Catherine Stonehouse and Scottie May's eloquent, culminating plenary address. Nurturing Children's Spirituality provides a rich cross section of the current research and writing by Christian scholars on children's spirituality. Contributors: Holly Catterton Allen, Michael J.

Book excerpt: As a parent, you can easily teach your children the basic skills they will need in life, from reading to swimming to computer literacy. But how do you nurture a sense of spirituality? Something More offers parents of all faiths, even those who don't consider themselves religious, everyday ways to make family life more meainginful. Jean Grasso Fitzpatrick reminds us that spiritual nurturing is not something we "do" to our child but is a journey that parent and child take together. This powerful book integrates spiritual insights, current child-development theory, and, in their own words, the experiences of parents. It features advice on how to answer your child's often difficult questions on everything from death to religious holidays to homelessness and includes lists of suggested books, music, and videos that will help you explore your own and your child's spirituality. Written in language that will touch the hearts of today's mothers and fathers, Something More is a very different kind of parenting book, one that parents will keep and treasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a psychic, medium, or spiritual coach, you have certainly come across families that were blessed with intuitive children. Wanting to work with these families, their children, guiding them through the challenges that they need to overcome to embrace and enhance such psychic abilities, is no easy task. In Spiritual Nurturing for Intuitive Children, Michelle Henderson offers guidance to all sorts of healers on how to provide parents the tools and knowledge it requires to fully integrate psychic children to their families. With over thirty years of experience working with children as an M. Ed, Michelle presents the foundation of her work and believes that "Looking at the world through a child's eyes" is important. Children come into this world with a fresh perspective-they are as spiritual as anyone can be. Just as a seed planted in rich soil will grow into a beautiful flower, a child will grow strong in an environment that has the essentials they need to survive (such as food, water, shelter, and air). But with just the essentials, will a child's spiritual growth increase as well? Children need physical and spiritual nurturing, and this book is about providing spiritual nourishment to children. Parents, society, and communities can influence a child's spiritual growth, and everyone who walks a spiritual path from an early age will find their true purpose in life. With practical exercises, offering insight to assist you in educating parents about elements of spirituality that will help every child fulfill his or her spiritual journey in all phases of their lives, Spiritual Nurturing for Intuitive Children covers important topics as: Why parent training? Accepting and welcoming the intuitive child Encouraging the powerful role of parents Navigating the challenges of raising psychic children Fully integrating the family Supporting spiritually evolved children in different life stages Celebrating spiritual growth What if, instead of discouraging children's spiritual growth, parents could be educated about the spiritual world? Embrace the love, forgiveness, faith, and non-judgmental behavioral strategies to nourish the intuitive side of children and their families. Our world needs our children to understand what true love and acceptance really is.
