Is there a natural Japanese phrase for “his/her heart’s in the right place”?

For example, used after a parent scolds a child, and a third person consoles the child. Or a strict teacher to a student, etc.

Thanks.

Is there a natural Japanese phrase for “your heart’s in the right place”?

This phrase is used in situations where you mean well but your actions come across harsh or misguided.

For example, a strict parent may restrict their child from doing things like staying out late at night, drinking, etc. While they are strict they do these things because they love their child. In other words, their heart's in the right place.

Thanks.
