Select one of the age groups chosen in Week Six, decide on the child’s age, what level and stage he or she is at developmentally, and list some characteristics demonstrating the nature of the stage. Post in 200-300 words. The following is what I have so far. I have only like 67 words and i need more. I need the last part of the assignment. PLEASE HELP!!!!



There are three levels in Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development. In this Theory there are six different stages. There are two stages in each level of the theory. The age group I chose is 36 months (3 yrs old). My child I chose is at level two which is the conventional morality. Stage 3: is the Good Boy-Nice Girl Orientation which my child is at right now.

67 words? It looks closer to zero. We have no idea what the defined Age Groups are; it all depends upon your Week Six assignments.

That is what I have so far. Soory I thought I posted it the 1st time.

Dawn -- your assignment is to list some characteristics demonstrating the nature of the stage.

I posted a site for you that lists many characteristics of three-year-olds. In addition, Writeacher posted a search page with many appropriate sites for your research. Why did you post the question and then choose to ignore that information???

Starts to use present tense of words by adding “s” (she runs, etc.)

Uses pronouns

"Level 1. Preconventional Morality
Stage 1 - Obedience and Punishment
The earliest stage of moral development is especially common in young children, but adults are capable of expressing this type of reasoning. At this stage, children see rules as fixed and absolute. Obeying the rules is important because it is a means to avoid punishment.
Stage 2 - Individualism and Exchange
At this stage of moral development, children account for individual points of view and judge actions based on how they serve individual needs. In the Heinz dilemma, children argued that the best course of action was whichever best-served Heinz’s needs. Reciprocity is possible, but only if it serves one's own interests."

To complete the assignment, you can expand on the characteristics and nature of stage 3 in the Good Boy-Nice Girl Orientation in Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development for a child who is 36 months old.

At this stage, children in the Good Boy-Nice Girl Orientation are still developing their understanding of moral reasoning and are beginning to internalize societal norms and expectations. They have a strong desire to be perceived as good and want to please others. Their actions are influenced by seeking approval and avoiding disapproval from others, especially authority figures and peers.

One characteristic of this stage is the child's increased awareness of the importance of maintaining positive relationships. They become more considerate and cooperative, taking others' perspectives into account when making decisions. For example, a child at this stage might share their toys with others or offer help to a friend without being prompted.

Another characteristic is the growing recognition of fairness and equality. The child becomes more aware of the concept of right and wrong and begins to develop a sense of justice. They strive to treat others fairly and expect the same in return. For instance, a child at this stage might express frustration if they perceive an unfair distribution of resources or if they witness someone being treated unfairly.

Children in this stage also develop a basic understanding of social rules and norms. They start to recognize that certain behaviors are considered right or wrong by their family, school, and community. They may show a heightened concern for following rules and seeking approval from authority figures. For instance, a child at this stage might express guilt or remorse when they break a rule or disappoint someone they respect.

It is important to note that children progress through these stages at different rates, and the characteristics may vary depending on their individual experiences and cultural backgrounds. As the child continues to grow and develop, they will eventually move on to the next stages of moral reasoning in Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development.
