Summary

Parents (and grandparents) have the important task of giving their children a spiritual foundation for life. Raising a Spiritual Child: A Jewish Perspective gives parents the tools they need to guide their children along this path to a personal faith. Based on five years of research with hundreds of adults and young people, Dr. Schneider shows parents of preschoolers through teens how to match a child's interests to one of four personal approaches to faith. An easy-to-use questionnaire and numerous examples provide step-by-step guidance to parents, while hundreds of resources give concrete ideas for each age group. Parents get help too -- included are tools to help parents fortify their own spirituality, even as they nurture their children's faith. Book jacket.
