A) 2-year-old from a middle-class family.
B) 6-year-old from a lower-class family.
C) 9-year-old from a middle-class family.
D) 12-year-old from a lower-class family.

Parental induction is a parenting technique that involves parents reasoning with their children and encouraging them to consider the consequences of their actions for others. Research suggests that parental induction is most effective in promoting moral behavior in children who are older and have developed greater cognitive and emotional capacities. Thus, a 9-year-old child from a middle-class family, who is more likely to have been exposed to higher levels of socialization and cognitive development, would benefit the most from parental induction as a means of promoting moral behavior.
