The Spirit of the Child
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. This stimulating book will encourage educators, parents and others involved in teaching children to consider new approaches to foster children's natural spiritual development.
Story, Formation, and Culture
Story, Formation, and Culture brings together a myriad of scholars, researchers, and ministry leaders into conversation about how we can effectively nurture the spirituality of children. Built around the three themes of story, formation, and culture, this volume blends cutting-edge research and insights with attention to how we can bring theory into practice in our ministries with children. The work of children's spiritual formation is often a marginalized component in the church's overall ministry.

Researching Female Faith
Religious and spiritual engagement has undergone multiple significant changes in recent decades.

The Education of the Whole Child
Are the needs of children catered for by current educational systems? Is it important to seek or act upon the opinions of children? These fundamental questions prompted a team of researchers to set up the Children and Worldviews Project, and this illuminating book is an account and an evaluation of that work. The children in the study are encouraged to talk about a range of issues, from religion and science to conflict, loss and parental separation. Their discussions - always open and often surprising - are reproduced at length, before being analysed with clarity and intelligence. The Education of the Whole Child is a sympathetic and positive work which will inform teachers and others involved in educational policy and management of the contributory role children are able to play in education.
New Perspectives on Disaffection
The problem of how to treat pupils who are deemed too unruly or disruptive to be educated alongside their fellow children is one which will never go away. The authors of this challenging and direct book examine the root causes of this problem in order to address it in a reasoned and intelligent manner. Pupil disaffection has always been blamed on either home circumstances or school regimes. Sanders and Hendry argue that this is a simplistic response to an issue which is a great deal more complex. In an attempt to uncover a variety of possible contributory factors, the authors have carried out an enormous research project in Scotland. The views of over 3000 respondents have been taken into account, and some rarely-heard voices (disruptive children and their parents, for example) are featured.
