Review by Sukey Howard

Robert Coles has spent decades trying to understand how children from different backgrounds acquire their particular values, assumptions and beliefs. In his latest book, The Moral Intelligence of Children, Coles shares his thoughts on how character and moral behavior develop in children and offers his insights on how to handle the long haul of parenthood. Above all, he believes that the most persuasive moral teaching adults can provide is by example, that our real moral counsel is what we do -- "The witness of our lives, our way of being with others." In this provocative guide to raising a moral child, Coles himself becomes a most persuasive moral teacher.
