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.
