Ima Emotivist takes much the same approach to moral education as do intuitionists, except that she talks about feelings instead of truths. Parents should get clear on their basic feelings about right and wrong -- and then teach these to their children by example, by verbal instruction, by praise and blame, and by reward and punishment.

I suspect, however, that parents who believe in moral truths would be firmer than parents who just believe that they're teaching their children to feel about things the same way that they do.
