Spirituality: Its Role in Child and Youth Development

This is an interesting series of presentations on spirituality and child and youth development that was conducted at Tufts University in November 2003.

There are some interesting powerpoint presentations to review from Peter Benson and others.

I had the opportunity last fall to meet in a small group with Dr. Benson. What a keen thinker! His optimism for young people is something I hope will spread to others!

Hi I.F.,

That's really neat that you were able to meet Peter Benson - I have really been impressed with what he has written.

I have been sold completely over to the positive youth development model that he endorses. I also think he has one of the best comprehensive, holistic strategies for reclaiming kids who live in at-risk environments.

Please feel free to continue to contribute to this blog.
