A parent of a 3-month-old infant is explaining to the nurse that the family wishes to raise the child to reflect their spiritual beliefs
According to Westerhoff's stages of faith, the nurse advises the parent to help the child grow in their faith by doing which of the following? 1. Read spiritually oriented books to the child
2. Follow and live the faith of their choice
3. Baptize the child in the parents' faith
4. Take the child to ceremonies of their faith
2. Follow and live the faith of their choice
Rationale:
According to Westerhoff, the child experiences faith through interaction with others who are living the particular faith. Reading books on faith to a child is not as powerful as setting the example. Baptizing a child does not guarantee the child will experience faith. Taking the child to ceremonies is worthwhile but not as powerful as associating with those who live the faith.
