Items related to The Moral Intelligence of Children
This volume explores the question of how to raise a child whose moral intelligence and strong values will be the basis for a balanced and happy life. Drawing on his experience as a teacher and child psychiatrist, and pivotal events in his own life, the author shows how character develops from the earliest years, moulded by the often unselfconscious guidance of parents. The book also aims to illustrate how the shared, daily experience between emotionally-connected adults and their children is a crucial factor in instilling moral sense, and how children can be taught to develop moral intelligence through witnessing the conduct of others. It then examines how values are born and shaped during the "moral archaeology of childhood". In infancy, the author explains, there is moral life that precedes language, and he considers how to stop a baby being a bully, and how to teach a toddler to act well.

Review:
Despite our society's astounding success in securing material comfort and security, the moral crisis of modernity continues to be a thorn in our sides. Why is it that our superior educational system doesn't churn out superior moral adults? Robert Coles takes up where Daniel Goleman left off in his groundbreaking Emotional Intelligence and shows us how children learn moral behavior and how we can better teach them. Instead of theoretical essays filled with statistics and dry case studies, Coles's style of addressing the reader through the use of anecdotes and ruminations makes for a comfortable, engaging read.
From the Inside Flap:
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the bestselling The Spiritual Life of Children now explores how to develop character in children, from infancy through the teenage years. During three stages in the "moral archaeology of childhood, " Coles shows how to spot moral crossroads, and what to do about them.
