In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in
psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific
link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active
relationship to spirituality: * are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances * are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers * are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex * have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of
meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical
psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and
physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents,
giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's--as well as their own-
-well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with
a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.
