Spirituality
Kids high in spirituality have a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Whether it is through religion, nature, philosophy or personal work, they have beliefs about their higher purpose and place in the universe. According to Dr. Ryan Niemiec of the VIA Institute on Character, “research has shown that spirituality is one of the character strengths most associated with a meaningful life. It is linked with many of the areas that help make the world a better place such as greater compassion, altruism, volunteerism, and philanthropy.”
Explore the character strength of spirituality with kids through the curated collection of children’s books below.
