Spiritual education should begin in childhood?

Whatever children are taught, they will repeat it. A child’s mind is like a sponge, capable of soaking up information and ideas at an astonishing rate. It is also like a flower, blossoming according to the conditions in which it grows. 

It all means that children learn from everything around them—they observe us closely as we go about our daily lives. They absorb everything that happens to parents without even realizing it!

So what does this mean for spiritual education? Simply put: whatever your child sees or hears has the potential to shape who they become as an adult; hence careful consideration should always be taken into account when planning to teach your kids about spirituality.

Why is spiritual development important in early childhood?

It is important to note that spiritual development in early childhood is not a replacement for religious or spiritual practice. Rather, it is an opportunity for children to explore and learn about spirituality, values, and morals, which they will carry into adulthood.

Spiritual development in early childhood is important because it allows children to explore values, morals, and spirituality which they will carry with them into adulthood.

The “Child Development and Care“ section of the book “How Toddlers Thrive: Raising Confident, Capable Kids from Birth to Six Years Old” reports that spiritual development in early childhood is one of the three main areas.

The authors address how spirituality is a foundational element of human life and provides children with a sense of meaning, connection, and hope.

How do mantras help in mental growth at an early age 

The most important method of spiritual education is teaching children to meditate. The child who has learned to meditate is safe from all evil influences, and if they have learned to chant the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya,” the child will never be touched by sin. 

Even if the kid is surrounded by wicked persons and tempted to do wrong, the mantra will protect him like invisible armor. The child’s heart becomes a purer and calm mind by chanting this mantra. As they grow into manhood or womanhood, their lives will be happier than that of other people because their thought processes are not impeded by worldly desires or selfishness.

Besides, there are so many benefits that come from practicing mantra meditation, including increased focus and concentration skills, increased ability to visualize things in their mind’s eye, and an overall sense of calmness and relaxation.
