morality of constraint

the morality of young children (up to roughly age 10), which consists of an unquestioning, unchallenging obedience to the rules laid down by parents. Obedience is based on fear and on the perception that rules established by parents are fixed, eternal, and sure to be valid. Compare morality of cooperation. [proposed by Jean Piaget]
