The spiritual aspect is an integral part of human life because it explains the human need to find the meaning and purpose of life. Is there a spiritual aspect in children from an early age or does it only develop later? According to some, spiritual development is an important potential resource for human development already during the first two decades of life. The natural spirituality of children is visible in children's fantasizing, wondering, but also in asking profound questions about life, emotions, immediate experiences and God. Defining spirituality and religiosity is a complex area since there are numerous differences in thinking and interpretation. Nevertheless, for the description of children's spirituality in this work, we will be guided by three elements of spirituality that include: transcendence, integrating relationships and the uniqueness of each person. In this paper, we will get an insight into how important the spiritual aspect is for the overall development of a child. The results of numerous studies show the connection between spirituality in children and positive behaviors such as: altruism, physical health, resilience and success in school. The realization that spirituality is one of the integrative parts of a child's upbringing and education is present somewhere, and somewhere is subject to questioning and neglecting. Therefore, this paper will provide an insight into the importance of the family, school and peer environment for the child, as well as the role of institutions, social work and the media, whose influence is increasing every day.
