moral upbringing
Character-forming childhood guidance
Moral upbringing is the process of instilling ethical values and principles in a child through parenting, education, and community influence.
It shapes a person's sense of right and wrong: Her strict moral upbringing made her uncomfortable with the deception.
The phrase often appears in discussions of character formation or when explaining someone's ethical commitments.
