List at least five characteristics of parents that your text identifies as being helpful in producing moral children.
What will be an ideal response?
Parents who tend to produce moral children are warm and supportive rather than punitive. They use inductive discipline and provide opportunities for children to learn about the perspectives and feelings of others. They afford their children opportunities to participate in family decisions and to think about moral decisions. Parents should model moral thinking and moral behavior themselves. Giving children clear behavioral expectations and fostering an internal sense of morality helps them to develop in a moral way.
