All of her children finished approximately 2 years of college credits before high school graduation. Her latest protege at the Clifton Academy, Jomo Jesus Thomas Suriel, 8 years old, an award-winning and best-selling author is beginning to take college courses. She shares the keys to successful high EQ and IQ individuals starting as young as 2 with training by the following activities:
1. Positive Psychology and Positive Self Talk by Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers are vital to helping children have more focus, flexibility, and ready-to-learn preparedness.

As a trained cybersecurity audit expert, she started to innovate AI education solutions that integrated human emotional intelligence and leadership as the key to helping young children have a strategic competitive advantage in a globally competitive world. This is the top of her priorities, with a sweeping advancement in education that integrates IQ, emotional intelligence (EQ), meaningful productivity (MQ), self-awareness growth, technological AI, and avatar learning technology to advance global leadership skills. “We are at a unique time in history, where we must merge and forge an innovative educational experience that connects AI with IQ, emotional intelligence, mental well-being, and understanding connections with meaningful work for very young children that is key to developing transformative future excellent global leaders,“ said Sandra Clifton.
McKinsey defines the ‘meaning quotient’ (MQ) as the extent to which people find purpose in their job. It suggests that along with IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (the emotional quotient), MQ could increase people’s regular rate of productivity five times over. Sandra Clifton has defined and created the “MQK” for the meaningfulness quotient for which kids find purpose in their education and that education will help them to be productive and successful in their jobs in life and successful leaders. She says that children who have a meaningful education that connects them with their goals in life will be more productive.
“The EQ and IQ Academy develops leadership intelligence, meaningful intelligence, emotional intelligence, and IQ to enhance children’s self-awareness, empathy, self-motivation, self-care, innovation, and leadership training for children from ages 2 -6,” said co-founder Jomo Gamal Thomas.
With the increasing number of neurodivergent learners, innovative education must be more tailored to recognize unique challenges as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each learner. Past education does not produce the skills to meet the challenges of a global completion. High-earning and productive leaders understand emotional intelligence combined with IQ are critical competencies for success.

She integrates global education that focuses on integrating IQ with Emotional intelligence and technology such as AI to become global leaders and citizens. There is no denying today’s parents face more challenges raising kids.
Parents are facing the difficulty of raising young children with mental health issues with high screen time hours and some addicted to smartphones, iPhones, and tablets. Many kids as young as 3-6 are consuming large hours of screen time on Roblox, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Netflix.
