Overview
Spiritual/Religious Reflection.
Write a 5–8-page (7th Edition APA style) self-reflection on your own spiritual/religious journey throughout your life throughout your development. Within your paper, you should discuss (with sources, details, and examples as appropriate): your spiritual/religious practice; familial, community, and societal messages you received, or which are present in society about your spiritual/religious practice (examples: stigma, oppression, misperceptions of the practice, culture, etc), how your spiritual/religious practice progressed throughout your development supported by theory and/or developmental stages (development of beliefs, changes in beliefs, transmission of beliefs, etc); ways in which your spiritual/religious beliefs and practices have impacted your interactions with others (children, grandchildren, foster children, mentees and students, colleagues and co-workers, friends and acquaintances, etc); your views on ways in which spirituality should be introduced to children (when and how) to support inclusivity and acceptance of others free from negative messages about spiritual and religious practices different from your own. Include at least one figure (model) in your paper of spiritual/religious development throughout the lifespan, integrating your experiences with a relevant developmental model of your choosing.
