13. Training the Conscience: The Ultimate Parenting Tool
In Session 13: Training the Conscience: The Ultimate Parenting Tool from Heart-Based Approach to Parenting, Dave and Marsha talk on the podcast about Dr. Scott Turansky’s insight that a well-trained conscience is key to lasting character and self-direction in children. As they reflect on his teaching, they discuss how conscience develops through consistent guidance, meaningful conversations, and helping children evaluate their own choices. Their conversation highlights moving beyond external control toward internal motivation, where children learn to recognize right and wrong for themselves. Dave and Marsha emphasize that when parents intentionally train the conscience, they equip children with an inner guide that shapes decisions long after parental supervision fades.
