two boys talking about the nativity scene at LCH
Starting next Sunday, January 8, the adult education class at LCH will explore the stages of morality in children and adults. The course, entitled “Living the ‘Good’ Life: Levels of Morality in Children and Adults,” will be examining such qualities as fairness, justice, compassion, and empathy. Click here for a link to the materials that will be used in the class.
The class has gotten me thinking about how we support the development of morality in our children. Children learn by seeing images, hearing stories, and following the examples of the adults around them. We can support them by surrounding them with positive images, stories, and examples.
Christmas is a time we present the children with tales of sharing and good will. By giving them these models again and again we encourage them to grow spiritually. I hope the holiday season for all of us has been full of the images and stories that feed our souls and that we all will continue to grow in the New Year.
