Join ParentMap on Nov. 1 for a fascinating talk by psychologist and New York Times–bestselling author Lisa Miller, Ph.D., on her groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and its role in building an inspired life of meaning and contribution.
Why do kids need spirituality? Spirituality plays a significant role in child social, emotional and cognitive development. Research shows that children who have positive active relationships to spirituality are 40 percent less likely to use and abuse substances, and have 60 percent less depression than other teenagers. Overall, kids who believe in something are happier and healthier.
Miller will detail the surprising new science of innate spirituality and how to engage it in our lives and parenting to enhance grit, optimism and resilience in ourselves and in our children — as insulation against the ills of addiction, trauma, and depression.
