With an increase in mental health issues among our youth, and technological developments creating a dynamic and unpredictable future, it is important to consider the necessity of spirituality. To help our children not just cope but flourish in life, we need to strengthen their spiritual characteristics by giving them the relevant tools and strategies as early as possible. Thus spirituality should be viewed as a priority in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings throughout the country.
