Moral Development

Developmental psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg built on Piaget's work to create his

theory of the Stages of Moral Understanding. According to Kohlberg, young children
at the age 5-10 base their morality on a punishment and obedience orientation.
Much like Piaget, Kohlberg believed that young children behave morally because
they fear authority and try to avoid punishment. In other words, little kids follow the
rules because they don't want to get in trouble
