Spiritual Development in Child Literature

Abstract

To explain the term c can be very challenging because the experience it refers to is not a rational or obvious one. There is no particular mode to explain spirituality. Berryman (2001) asks why is it that "we know 'spirituality' when we meet it, but can't define it? Why do our explanations fail to satisfy?". He seeks to give these questions answers by proposing that maybe the fact that spirituality is part of our non-verbal communication system is the reason it is so complicated to define, and thus our efforts should be geared towards showing the non-verbal nature of spirituality in its place of searching for verbal brevity.
