Typical Moral/Character Development by
Kohlberg
● Children ages 2 years old are in stages 1 and 2.
● They called stage 1 and 2 called the Preconventional morality.
● Stage 1: Obedience/Punishment. They learned to distinguish the differences
between doing the right thing and avoiding the punishment.
● Stage 2: Self-Interested. Interest and rewards seem to come into the picture
now. They learned to now put the effort in for rewards instead of
punishment.
