First of all , you have to know what Spirituality is... or what Spirituality is NOT...
religion is NOT Spirituality and teaching children religion is the WORSE thing a parent or anyone else can teach children - the lies and deceptions of religion;
Spirituality IS Creating Your Relationship with Our Creator...
and teaching that to your children is the best thing you can teach them...
Once You realize what True Spirituality is...
(Creating Your Relationship with Our Creator), then You can teach anyone else about Creating Their Relationship . . .
Here's how You can Create Your Relationship:
Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs.
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions

I am Pagan but I attend a Universalist Church. I want my kids to be exposed and taught all religions in an enviornment that is open to questions and debates. I would love for my kids to find spirituality, but it has to be thier own. Its a personal path. All I can do is answer questions and support thier choice.
As far as morals, I teach those just fine with out Jesus or God. My kids are compassionate and tolerant people who wouldn't hurt a fly. Ok well maybe a fly because my oldest is scared of all bugs but you get the point. They are good people in thier hearts. I just taught them right and wrong. The rest is up to them.

I think that parents should give their children a spiritual/religious foundation and guide them in their spiritual growth while they are young. Once adults, they should then be capable of making their own, hopefully wise, spiritual decisions.

How the parents go spiritually so go the children.

i think its a very intense subject . we as parents, feel a need to guide our children spiritually, and i agree that of course we are the most influential people in their lives.however, what happens, if OUR beliefs change along the way, and they are left confused about everything they have been taught? this is what happened to me. my kids spent much of their childhood in the Pentecostal environment, and now i totally reject it. the hardest part is trying to undo the mess that Ive done by putting them through the chaos of that nightmare.
its a very good question, and a difficult one. i wish i had a good answer.
all the best

Parents think and do Spiriutally. Spirituality does and makes Parents. SO Parents = Spiritualls and vice versa

parents; have a respectable responsibility to leave their children with the name and promise of Jesus to hold firm in their heart and mind. it is difficult for the spirit of a child to have strong spiritual muscles, these need to be developed and encouraged to hold. All other things made by flesh hands will decay and die, except for that journey to Jesus. give them the knowledge of his path for their salvation. not the artistic work of death. The walls in the mountainous mind are full of the old ways, some were set there in traps for decay. There is a passage to Jesus where all past life does slip away into decay but held firm in the heart and mind is the promised life you will carry to the top of that mountain, there you will receive your second wind, the new breath of life as promised, you will stand on top with HIM. re-newed, revived, and alive.

Many people assume God's role as a good parent. This makes God an exact image of human. God pleases and displeases easily. God judge his children easily. God's love is conditional. Religion should educate people and should not make God like parents. God loves us unconditionally and he is just observer will not punish us or reward but instead lay a law of causes and consequences which is more natural.

Parents are supposed to train up their children in the way they should go. God has given them this charge, and they will be held accountable for how well they do it.
In my case, my parents were an atheist and an agnostic. When I grew up, I became a Christian.

Spirituality is a very personal thing. Parents have no place in it.
