Abstract

Duhovni aspekt sastavni je dio čovjekova života zato što objašnjava ljudsku potrebu za pronalaženjem smisla i svrhe života. Postoji li duhovni aspekt kod djece od najranije dobi ili se tek kasnije razvija? Prema nekima je duhovni razvoj važan potencijalni resurs za ljudski razvoj već tijekom prva dva desetljeća života. Prirodna duhovnost djece vidljiva je u dječjem fantaziranju, čuđenju, ali i postavljanju dubokoumnih pitanja o životu, emocijama, neposrednim iskustvima i Bogu. Definiranje duhovnosti i religioznosti kompleksno je područje budući da su prisutne brojne razlike u razmišljanjima i tumačenjima. Ipak, za opis dječje duhovnosti u ovome radu vodit ćemo se trima elementima duhovnosti koji uključuju: transcedenciju, integriranje odnosa i jedinstvenost kod svake osobe. U ovome radu dobit ćemo uvid u to koliko je duhovni aspekt važan za cjelokupni razvoj djeteta. Rezultati brojnih istraživanja pokazuju povezanost između duhovnosti kod djece i pozitivnih ponašanja kao što su: altruizam, tjelesno zdravlje, otpornost te uspjeh u školi. Spoznaja da je duhovnost jedan od integrativnih dijelova djetetova odgoja i obrazovanja negdje je prisutna, a negdje podložna propitkivanju i zanemarivanju. Stoga će se u radu pružiti uvid u važnost obiteljske, školske i vršnjačke okoline za dijete kao i u ulogu institucija, socijalnog rada i medija čiji je utjecaj svakim danom sve veći.

Abstract (english)

The spiritual aspect is an integral part of human life because it explains the human need to find the meaning and purpose of life. Is there a spiritual aspect in children from an early age or does it only develop later? According to some, spiritual development is an important potential resource for human development already during the first two decades of life. The natural spirituality of children is visible in children's fantasizing, wondering, but also in asking profound questions about life, emotions, immediate experiences and God. Defining spirituality and religiosity is a complex area since there are numerous differences in thinking and interpretation. Nevertheless, for the description of children's spirituality in this work, we will be guided by three elements of spirituality that include: transcendence, integrating relationships and the uniqueness of each person. In this paper, we will get an insight into how important the spiritual aspect is for the overall development of a child. The results of numerous studies show the connection between spirituality in children and positive behaviors such as: altruism, physical health, resilience and success in school. The realization that spirituality is one of the integrative parts of a child's upbringing and education is present somewhere, and somewhere is subject to questioning and neglecting. Therefore, this paper will provide an insight into the importance of the family, school and peer environment for the child, as well as the role of institutions, social work and the media, whose influence is increasing every day.
