About this listen
Introduction read by author.
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 percent less likely to use and abuse substances
- Are 60 percent less likely to be depressed as teenagers
- Are 80 percent 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.
