あらすじ・解説
Do you remember your very first image or concept of God? Your first thoughts about death and the afterlife?
In this episode, Gabe talks to Dr. Melanie Nyhof, a developmental psychologist at Carthage College who conducts cross-cultural developmental research examining the development of religious and cultural concepts.
Gabe and Melanie specifically discuss her research of children’s cognitive development related to how they view God and the afterlife. She explains that in addition to different religious and cultural practices, various other sources can influence a child’s first interpretations and understanding of God, such as TV shows, movies, and even cartoon-like drawings of God in children’s bibles.
Tune in to learn what advice Melanie offers to parents as they help their children cultivate an understanding of and belief in God.
