why is it important that parents teach their children about spirituality?

Answer 1

I think it is because children are very right-brained and are learning about how they feel when things happen around them. Childhood is a great time to foster spiritual feelings even as a child. Love and peace are universal, and if children learn that God loves them, and that He has a plan for them, they can develop self-esteem independent of what others think of them later on. In my church we have the song "I Am A Child of God" that helps instill these truths in a spiritual way, along with many other songs. Have a happy day.

Answer 2

It's only important to those parents that are spiritual. I think that it's more important to teach them right and wrong , thru example. If you draw these concepts from a spiritual source...so be it. Just don't use that same spirituality to prevent them from finding their own truths.

Answer 3

According to the Vedas "One should not become a Husband, mother or Father, teacher, priest, unless they can deliver their dependents. The whole purpose of human life is to realize our eternal relationship with God. That's it. If we don't do that then back to animal life we go. Its the law of nature. So if you don't want your children to be like cats and dogs then help them understand God. Its the only thing that separates us from the animals.
