Moral standard/monitor in what is acceptable socially and morally. Children traditionally identify themselves from the opposite sex. Modern psychoanalytic theorists: toddlers form conscience in a warm, mutually responsive relationship. Committed compliance (more likely to listen because you treat me nicely as well) Situational compliance (forcing a child to do a behavior; the child will act inconsistently depending on if there is a benefit or if the parent is present) Cognitive-developmental theory (the cognitive component): piaget + kohlberg + reasoning. Piaget"s stage theory: social situations to determine what children base their reasoning on. Morality of constraint (< 7 years): focus on the consequence of the action.
