Moral Child Nurturing Children's Natural Moral Growth

Moral education has become a matter of widespread common concern. Parents worry that their children are growing up bereft of traditional values. Teachers complain that their students seem ethically shallow and worse. Responding to these worries, politicians have entered the act, demanding that schools devote more time and effort to moral instruction. Children's morality is no longer simply a question of conduct in the home and corner playground; nor is it reserved for the province of religious leaders and scholars. It is the focus of public scrutiny and debate, a recognized societal problem of the first magnitude.-quote from the book.
