Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How important is childhood in the spiritual formation of a person? How do children experience God in the context of their lives as they grow? What does God do in the lives of children to draw them to himself and help them grow into a vital relationship with him? How can adults who care about children better support their spiritual growth and direct it toward relationship with God through Jesus Christ? These are critical questions that church leaders face as they consider how best to nurture the faith of the children God brings into our lives. In this book, over two dozen Christian scholars and ministry leaders explore important issues about the spiritual life of children and ways parents, church leaders, and others who care about children can promote their spiritual formation.
Download or read book Listening to Children on the Spiritual Journey written by Catherine Stonehouse and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do children experience and understand God? How can adults help children grow their life of faith? Throughout more than a decade of field research, children's spirituality experts Catherine Stonehouse and Scottie May listened to children talk about their relationships with God, observed children and their parents in learning and worship settings, and interviewed adults about their childhood faith experiences. This accessibly written book weaves together their findings to offer a glimpse of the spiritual responsiveness and potential of children. Through case studies, it provides insight into children's perceptions of God and how they process their faith. In addition, the book suggests how parents, teachers, and ministry leaders can more effectively relate to and work with children and pre-adolescents to nurture their faith, offering a helpful picture of adults and children on the spiritual journey together.
Download or read book The Study of Children in Religions written by Susan B. Ridgely and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in religious studies has traditionally focused on adult subjects since working with children presents significantly more challenges to the researcher, such as getting the research protocol passed by the Internal Review Board, obtaining permission from parents and schools, and figuring out how to make sense of young worldviews. The Study of Children in Religions provides scholars with a comprehensive source to assist them in addressing many of the issues that often stop researchers from pursuing projects involving children. This handbook offers a broad range of methodological and conceptual models for scholars interested in conducting work with children. It not only illuminates some of the legal and ethical issues involved in working with youth and provides guidance in getting IRB approval, but also presents specific case studies from scholars who have engaged in child-centred research and here offer the fruits of their experience.Cases include those that use interviews and drawings to work with children in contemporary settings, as well as more historically focused endeavours to use material cultureosuch as Sunday school projects or religious board gamesoto study children's religious lives in past eras. The Study of Children in Religions offers concrete help to those who wish to conduct research on children and religion but are unsure of how to get started or how to frame their research.

In addition, the handbook provides evidence supporting the implementation of parenting programs such as prevention/early intervention and treatments for established issues. The handbook addresses the complementary role of universal and targeted parenting programs, the economic benefits of investment in parenting programs, and concludes with future directions for research and practice. Topics featured in the Handbook include: · The role of fathers in supporting children’s development. · Developmental disabilities and their effect on parenting and child development. · Child characteristics and their reciprocal effects on parenting. · Long-distance parenting and its impact on families. · The shifting dynamic of parenting and adult-child relationships. · The effects of trauma, such as natural disasters, war exposure, and forced displacement on parenting.

Download or read book Understanding and Managing the Difficult Child written by William Lyman Camp FACAPP and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While working with parents and children for nearly half a century, it has become increasingly evident that the Adlerian child psychology methods as outlined in this book are effective when applied to family conflicts. They have been tested by numerous teachers, counselors, and others in many locations over many years. Many parents have discovered for themselves that these strategies engage their children and win their cooperation. Still, parents often do not know why children act as they do or why they succeed or fail. The information and recommendations in this book are based on a philosophy of life and concept of human nature and behavior first presented by Alfred Adler, Rudolph Dreikurs, and others. The parenting methods they recommended have become increasingly accepted and used during recent decades in Europe and North America. They do not suggest either permissiveness or punishment but instead methods for use by parents, which emphasize wise guidance of children without either overcontrolling them or stifling their creative spirit. With more secure knowledge of what to do, parents can improve their parenting using techniques and strategies that work. Parents are too often faced with child-raising challenges for which they are not prepared. Just as the child needs training, so do parents. Ideas presented in the pages of this book suggest new ways to respond to a child’s provocations that can lead to new attitudes and parental behaviors. These can and often do lead, in turn, to new and productive approaches and methods that allow more harmonious relationships to develop. But why do children act as they do? And why do these methods enable parents to succeed? The information included in this volume was designed to answer these and related questions as well as to present a set of principles in a form readily usable by parents in the home, teachers in the classroom, and other adults in other circumstances and situations.

Download or read book Teaching All Nations written by Mitzi J. Smith and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That Christian missionary efforts have long gone hand-in-hand with European colonization and American imperialist expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries is well recognized. The linchpin role played in those efforts by the "Great Commission"--The risen Christ's command to "go into all the world" and "teach all nations"--has more often been observed than analyzed, however. With the rise of European colonialism, the Great Commission was suddenly taken up with an eschatological urgency, often explicit in the founding statements of missionary societies; the differentiation of "teachers" and "nations" waiting to be "taught" proved a ready-made sacred sanction for the racialized and androcentric logics of conquest and "civilization."

Download or read book Caring for the Souls of Children written by Amy Baker and published by New Growth Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming alongside struggling children can feel like an uphill battle. Counselors and parents mistakenly believe children somehow need different answers to life’s problems than adults need—but Christ is always the way. Children struggle with the same desires adults struggle with, are lured by the same lies adults fall prey to, and can find hope in the same source adults can find hope—in our Lord and Savior. In this manual for biblical counselors, men and women will learn how to help struggling children with the hope found in our Redeemer as presented in the Word of God. Caring for the Souls of Children equips counselors, parents, pastors, and anyone else who wants to love children with the hope of Jesus to boldly trust in the sufficiency of Scripture. Rather than relying on different methods to reach children, this manual helps counselors share the truth of Christ—the way, the truth, and the life—all while tailoring interactions and teachings to the understanding of children. Edited by counseling professional and author Amy Baker, this in-depth resource offers the biblical wisdom and practical insights of contributing authors who are experienced in biblical counseling for children.
