Does a child’s conscience that you help form when they are young stay with them all their lives,even if it appears hidden at times ?

I was a toddler, around two years old, when my Daddy flicked something to the ground and said, “Don’t touch that”, as he walked forward along the back garden path. with me trailing behind. I always adored him.
I had no concept of obedience or disobedience, only infant curiosity when I immediately tried to pick “that” up with my little finger and thumb. It felt sharp.
It was cigarette ash. I didn’t cry, not because I didn’t want to be found out, but because as a child I always internalized things. I didn’t really communicate much with others until I was eighteen.
That little event left me with a lifelong understanding that what adults take as disobediaence in a very young child may not be disobedience to the child, but exploration.
You learn what is acceptable or unacceptable through consequences.
We do have an innate moral conscience, but it is gradually formed though our expriences as children, of what those around us, and responsible for us, give us as boundaries and teach by example or reverse-example.
That’s my very subjective answer. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and psychologists will supply what is lacking i my response

From my own observation, kiddos get to an age where they question everything and want to be independent.
Whether they stick to the teachings of their parents, leave for awhile then come back, or leave permanently seems to be up to the individual, and a parenting technique that works for one kid won’t necessarily work for another.

Proverbs 22:6 (RSVCE)
Train children in the right way,
and when old, they will not stray.
The word of the Lord.
I had a great aunt whose husband left her with three small children. She never remarried and I was told she felt abandoned by everyone, especially those in her Catholic Church. She was welcomed by JW’s, however. She was a precious godly woman. I got to see her transition as she grew older, back into her Catholic traditions. Unfortunately, The fate of her children did not fare so well.
We need to especially take care of widows or widowers (or divorced) who have children, souls are at stake. A single parent today is not as ostracized as in the past, but they may need help in passing on the faith to their children.
