Lawrence Kohlberg  was an American psychologist best known for his theory of stages of moral development.

According to Kohlberg there are three stages of moral developement :

- Pre-convencional morality,

- Conventional morality,

- Post-convencional morality.

At the pre-convential level ( up to the age of 9 ), children don't have a personal code of morality. Their moral code is shaped by the standards of adults and the consequences of breaking the imposed rules.

The two stages of the pre-convential level are;

- Obedience and Punishment Orientation. The child is good in order to avoid punishment.

- Individualism and Exchange. The child recognizes that there is not just one right view and different individuals have different viewpoints.
