'The Spirit of the Child' explains the fascinating results of a three-year investigation of children's spirituality. Children are capable of having profound beliefs and meaningful spiritual experience from a very early age. This is shown to be rooted in a universal and vital human awareness, something natural to all human beings, but which is often damaged by historically created social pressures. David Hay argues for greater attention to be given to nurturing children's spirituality as the true source of social and moral cohesion for the future.
