I think it's even more nuanced than that -- it requires constant enforcement, even up until your child is 30 years old. Is that too old to be reinforcing ideals and moral principles? Absolutely not.
Anyone who has kids knows that once they hit 18 they are not an actual adult, they just have the legal capacities of one. But they're still a child, and think like a child and still need a ton of guidance.
In today's society, I've realised that too much parenting isn't enough. So long as it's not over-bearing, but rather actively present to add context and guidance at almost every turn.
Some people might think this is helicopter parenting, but it's not. Some of the channels I'm subscribed to (like Strong Successful Male) constantly goes over stories sent in to him by couples hit by infidelity. The biggest age-range where it happens is between 22 and 35. For almost all of the cases with Christian Conservatives, it's the woman who falters because of friends, loneliness, or co-workers.
So what does that have to do with parenting? That even those who claim to be Conservatives still didn't have enough of a foundation laid to avoid some very obvious pitfalls. And that the parents weren't stringent enough in pointing out examples where pitfalls occur, or how to spot them before the daughter left the household.
Unlike Libertarians, those who espouse Conservative values require much more steeled fortitude in the guarding of their principles, as Conservatives are the ones who have values that can be corrupted. It is the ability to be corrupted that society sees as an opportunity for tempting that individual, which is why it's necessary for parents to be much more effective and present in building up and instilling strong moral foundations in their children.
