Book Summary

In this insightful work, child psychiatrist and Harvard professor Robert Coles explores how children acquire their moral compass. He introduces moral intelligence—the capacity to distinguish right from wrong and to act accordingly—as a critical form of human intelligence, alongside emotional and cognitive types. Through vivid case studies, classroom visits, and interviews, Coles shows that moral awareness begins in infancy and is nurtured through “moral archaeology”—parents’ and teachers’ everyday choices, stories, and actions. Emphasizing the importance of role‑modeling over lectures, he urges adults to recognize “moral moments” and to share values through storytelling, community service, and honest dialogue about complex issues as children grow. The overarching message: children learn most powerfully by observing authentic values in action, not just from formal moral instruction .
