Parenting is a challenge. Yes, it is fulfilling, meaningful, and is often a delight, but it is also difficult. Parents worry, are my children healthy? Are they doing well in school? Do they have friends? Are their friends the right friends? Are they happy? Are they mentally and morally strong? Recent psychological research has found that a powerful force for children’s health and happiness is a developed spiritual awareness. Lisa Miller, in her book, “The Spiritual Child,” states, “Research shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality are: 40% less likely to abuse substances, 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers, 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex, and are more likely to have positive markers for thriving and high levels of academic success.”
