Most children learn a lot of habits and values by unconsciously picking them up off their parents. They learn from your actions what is correct and incorrect behavior without you having to directly teach it. Good behaviour is comprised of the union of two sets: behaviour that you allow, and behaviour that you partake in. If these sets overlap then you can be pretty sure that your child will learn 'good behaviour' as defined by you. I would also add that many beneficial social movements favouring equality among humans have been contested by adults who were brought up to share their parents' values. I hesitate to say that most children do not care about colour or sexuality until they are taught by their parents that differences are bad, or see their parents reactions to people who are 'different'.
