moral guidance
Right and wrong
Moral guidance is advice or direction on questions of right and wrong.
It often comes from parents, religious leaders, or trusted mentors: Children look to adults for moral guidance.
The phrase implies helping someone navigate ethical decisions rather than simply imposing rules.
Institutions like churches and schools are traditionally expected to provide moral guidance.
