Specifically, Christian families often choose to skip church services to attend athletic events. Parents and competitive youth athletes from across the United States were invited to complete surveys which explored youth athletes’ and their parents’ perceptions of the competitive sport environment, the child’s level of spirituality, and the influence of church attendance on the child’s spirituality. The results suggested the parents were aware of the child’s experiences in sport and involvement in church, but they were not aware of the child’s level of reliance on faith to cope with the demands of sport. Additionally, there was no difference in spirituality levels of children regardless of how frequently they attended church. The implications of the study are that Christian youth athletes use their faith to overcome challenges of competition, and factors outside of church attendance contribute to a child’s spiritual development.","PeriodicalId":45218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childrens Spirituality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1364436X.2019.1708707","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44621218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews were held with six paediatric health professionals. Domains of interest were understanding spiritual care, training in spiritual care and culture in spiritual care. An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis approach was used. The study findings revealed that health professionals held various views on what spiritual care consisted of. Spiritual care of children was seen to be different to that of adults, an understanding of child development and a family’s culture was considered essential. As this study was New Zealand based, the inclusion of Māori Tikanga (traditional practices) were considered to enhance spiritual care. Participants stated there was a lack of training available in the spiritual care of children. Education and opportunities for peer and self-reflection would support health professionals to develop an awareness of their own views on spiritual care and enhance their practice.","PeriodicalId":45218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childrens Spirituality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1364436X.2019.1701421","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48441451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve adolescent participants were purposively sampled and participated in semi-structured interviews and reflective writing exercises. The themes that emerged from the analysis alluded to the importance of relationships and context. The roles of parents, peers, the educational environment, and geographical location were emphasised. Participants explored and committed to their spiritual identities through processes of personal reflection, discussion, and modelling. Spiritual development is thus a reciprocal and bidirectional process between the unique individual and context. Spiritual identity development is a fluid process that evolves and grows in connections and relationships with others. Personal, cultural, and contextual factors are thus important in the co-creation of individuals’ spiritual life stories.","PeriodicalId":45218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childrens Spirituality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1364436X.2020.1769567","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44783146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the research was to answer a question where there is little evidence and because the topic is of direct practical relevance to issues in the researcher’s own work and practice as a parish priest in the Church of England. The primary data was derived from Participatory Action Research. Three sets of co-researchers drawn from children, adults from the local community and adult members of two congregations, shared their experiences without and with co-curation of the Eucharist with children. An inductive methodology was used in a qualitative, constant comparative and thematic method of data analysis. The data found attentive presence to be a unifying concept important to spiritual flourishing. Children co-curating worship found that their involvement in the liturgical action deepened the spiritual experience of some adults.","PeriodicalId":45218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childrens Spirituality","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1364436X.2019.1711025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45720714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
