Thank you so much for your in Moral Genius' Character Cards.  Moral Genius concurs in the research of Dr. Daniel Goleman and others which has shown that IQ contributes only 20% to the success a person is likely to experience.  The Mission of Moral Genius is to develop tools to help parents, teachers, and other caretakers promote and strengthen strong moral values and "Emotional Intelligence" in children during the early years of life. In recent years a great deal of study has been done to discover what makes a person successful. It is a common misconception that the number one predictor of success is IQ. Research done by Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. and others has shown that intelligence contributes only around 20% to the success that a person will experience in life. Rather, Goleman, in his important work, argues that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. He defines "emotional intelligence", a trait not measured by IQ tests, as a set of skills, including Self Control, Self-Motivation, Empathy and Social Competence in Interpersonal Relationships. All of these traits can be and are taught!

The Moral Genius teaching methodology is through the use of age appropriate Flash Cards.  We have created these cards in a format that is familiar to both you and your child, closely resembling the way your child would learn the sounds of letters, mathematics, or a foreign language.  We encourage you to delve deeper into these character traits with your children and discuss with them how you’ve applied these principles in your own life.  Also, have your children describe to you how they have seen these principles at work in experiences they have had or in tv shows or movies they have seen.  Role play scenarios depicted in the cards, or try to "catch" your children displaying these traits and reward them (see enclosed stickers).  Parental involvement, modeling, discussion, and guidance are an indispensable adjuncts to the cards.
