I would use Kohlberg's Preconventional Morality, Obedience and Punishment to diplaince the child when old enough. And I also belive that if woulf follow the theory of Postconventional Morality to do what my personalilt want me to, for my individual happiness due to universal ethical principles and abstract reasoning. At this stage, I would follow these internalized principles of justice, even if they conflict with laws and rules.

Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development
The Postconventional Level
In the final level, people become more flexible and consider what’s personally important to them. In the first stage of this level, people still want to follow society’s rules, but they don’t see those rules as absolute. In the second stage, people figure out right and wrong for themselves, based on abstract ethical principles. Only a small proportion of people reach this last stage of moral reasoning.
