Description: "In Right vs. Wrong - Raising a Child with a Conscience, three child-rearing experts offer useful advice for nurturing the conscience in children and adolescents. Written for parents, guardians, and all who work with young people, this book charts the growth of the sense of right and wrong in children from early youth through the teenage years. The authors describe the important events in moral development and identify five transformations during these years, marked by five stages of moral growth.

Each state is illustrated with examples culled from years of interviews with children and adolescents. The authors give special attention to the way children and adolescents perceive their parents and other adults as nurturing the development of their conscience."--BOOK JACKET.
