This webinar looks at how the adults within church toddler groups intentionally or unintentionally nurture young children\u2019s spirituality. We will share the research findings from our study of church toddler groups. Our analysis has revealed that children\u2019s spirituality was nourished, often unintentionally, within the toddler group through the environment, relationships, and space for imaginative play. However, conversations with adults highlighted a lack of awareness of opportunities to nurture children\u2019s spirituality. We argue that a lack of understanding of the nature of young children\u2019s spirituality needs to be addressed to enhance opportunities for moments of spirituality within the toddler group sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See this link for the project website<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nicer.org.uk\/toddlers-in-the-nexus\">https:\/\/nicer.org.uk\/toddlers-in-the-nexus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See this link for academic research from the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2125568\">https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2125568<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith in the Nexus: How do adults nurture children\u2019s spirituality in church toddler groups?
