A few months ago an article was published via BBC entitled, "The 'Hidden Talent' That Determines Success." (Find the full article here.) That "hidden talent" is not a high IQ, a certain certification, or even experience - it's a person's "CQ" or "cultural intelligence." For a high CQ, start exposing your child to cultural diversity while they are still young. Start now! Simply introducing them to the concept of different cultures, cuisines, music, architectural styles, etc. can do wonders for their developing brains - AND - give them a jump-start on accepting and engaging with others from around the world in both their personal and professional lives.

I love teaching my kids about different cultures and how each culture has unique traditions and foods. This sounds like a great program for little ones
This is awesome! I have never heard of this program but I think it would be perfect for my boys!
This is incredibly important! Kids are never too young to explore the world and different cultures!
