The best way to teach spirituality to children is to define to them the meaning of right and wrong. People are born with a conscience and a sense of right and wrong is present in kids who have started discerning things about life. So it need not be difficult. The toughest challenge you will face is from the fact that you are not religious. As they develop, they will start challenging the rules since there are no higher imperatives for they to obey them.

A good place to start is to teach them to differentiate between good and bad and then teach them that there is a powerful spiritual entity behind these, that is God and the devil. From here, build on morality by associating actions to the two faculties while imparting lessons in endurance, empathy and sympathy. Then introduce them to the holy books to build on this. A foundation of spiritulity will have been created by the age of accountability.
