Abstract | Spiritual nurturing includes the recognition that children have valuable ways of knowing, such as pondering, sacred listening, intuition, and dreams and visions. Children nurtured in spiritual ways of being are supported through the traits of creativity, compassion, love, gratitude, affirmation, contemplation, and silence. These attributes are inherent in children, but are often discouraged and diminished by adults and traditional forms of education. How can teachers make their classrooms harbors for spiritual safety? One way in which the elements of a child's spirit can be explored and nurtured in the elementary classroom (and beyond) is through writing activities. This article describes writing activities which provide a sampling of ideas easily incorporated into any classroom and can be modified if needed for the age of the children and structure or preference of the teacher.
