Wistuba, Halina2025-12-112025-12-111979Seminare, 1979, Tom 4, s. 169-178.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/39773Both in scientific literature and in the pedagogical practice little space is devoted to the religious education of a small child although this is where the foundations of Christian attitudes are formed. This is why attention should be drawn to the fact that, on the one hand, there is a need for such education and, on the other, it should be carefully planned. The first contacts of a child with God become the factors of either growth or set-back of religious life in later years. When the child is contacting God it is necessary to remember about the total contact, i.e. perception, expedience, action. It must not be forgotten, either, that a small child is educated in the sphere of religion by: the atmosphere at home, the child’s prayer, conversations between the parents, and the shaping of the conscience. In the process of religious education there are interwoven: imitation; the environment; the child’s sensitivity to beauty, goodness, and love; the sense of right and wrong.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychdzieciBógodniesienia małego dziecka do Bogapsychologiapsychologia rozwojowawiaramodlitwateologiateologia pastoralnarodzinamodlitwa małego dzieckasumienieżycie rodzinnechildrenGodyoung children’s relationship to Godpsychologydevelopmental psychologyfaithprayertheologypastoral theologyfamilyyoung children’s prayerconsciencefamily lifeArticle
