Spiritual Development

The Secret Spiritual World of Children by Tobin Hart’s (PhD). In this groundbreaking new book on, the author’s research demonstrated that over 90% of children had mystical or spiritual experiences. He recommends that as parents we communicate to children with the respect of knowing that they are fully capable spiritual beings. He goes further to say our role is to allow/support their access to their sense of oneness. He makes the case for us to support their journey rather than being shut down as is largely the case now.

Torbin and his wife Mary also run a non-profit focused on children’s spirituality and run regular conferences. Check them out at www.childspirit.net
