"Scholars are starting to recognize that the 'cute' things children say about life and God may not match adults' sophisticated belief systems, but they do grow out of the genuine and important processes of making sense of the world and their place in it. . . More and more, experts and parents alike are recognizeing that children teach us, just as we seek to teach them."
"...Nurturing spirituality is not something you do to or for your children; it is something you do with your children. And with your children, you will learn, discover, and grow in ways that you cannot predict or control. It will change you."
Eugene C Roehlkepartain - Director, Family and Congregation Initiatives Search Institute in his introduction to Real Kids, Real Faith by Karen Marie Yust, John Wiley & Sons, Inc - Josey Bass: San Francisco, 2004 (p. xii)
