Language for Talking About Spiritual Development and Flourishing
Abstract
In this chapter the author responds to the question: What is spiritual development and why is spiritual development important for people of all ages worldwide; religious and nonreligious? Some of the answers come in the form of a system for spiritual development uncovered by a social construct grounded theory study conducted by Schein. Other theorists such as Montessori, Bowlby, Buber, and Senge will be discussed. The author also looks at spirituality from an educational perspective asking: Why and what should parents and educators know about spiritual development? What words should be used to reference our human spirituality? How is spirituality talked about when children play, spend time in nature, or simply stop to contemplate life? The author's intent is to demonstrate how spiritual development can help provide for healthy, happy, productive human growth so that children do not need to be fixed, but rather can grow freely to reach their full human potential.
