Will Spirituality at Early Age Curb violence among Students?

With increasing violence among students, it’s clear that students are not just stressed but are bereft of a constant value system. Should parents and teachers start introducing simple forms of spirituality for children? Should there be mandatory counselling sessions for students in school?

I have noticed that trying to introduce spirituality to my 6-year old daughter is not easy. She is naturally of a playful disposition and staying at one place to meditate, worship, or listen to stories is something she finds boring. Yet, in trying to introduce her to spirituality, I feel change in m

For students in school and collgeges, spirituality is still a word to look at , raise an eyebrow, check your cell in the meantime and wonder. Not many can relate to it or are willing to give it a thought. This is quite natural at this age of 17-23 (high school - undergrads) when the mind is occupied

Hi, Thanks for inviting me Manmeet. Yes I support for the spirituality and meditation sessions in schools, but then i also believe that the root cause of violence among the students is their respective homes only.
