Moral development in children

Children are not born knowing right from wrong; they develop moral sense through repeated experience, watching what adults do when no one is judging, and gradually internalizing values through practice. Your job is not to police them but to model integrity, acknowledge their mistakes without shaming, and help them see the consequences of their choices in the world.
