Early childhood education has a rich history and many current classroom practices are rooted in that history. Past early childhood education theories and theorists focused on moral and spiritual development of young children.

Use this forum to discuss the following:

• Why are spiritual influences and moral development mentioned so little in many contemporary early childhood education programs?
• Can we teach children about morals? If so, how?
• Can we teach children right from wrong? If so, how?
• How do we include diversity and differing views when dealing with these sensitive topics?
