Jerome, 6, and Hani, 10, get up early on Saturday morning and decide to make "breakfast in bed" for their mother. While reaching for the bed tray in the back of the hall cabinet, they accidentally break one of their mother's favorite porcelain dolls. Jerome knows that he is going to get into "big trouble." Hani tells him not to worry because Mom would understand that it was an accident. In what stage would Piaget categorize the moral reasoning of Jerome and Hani?

Answer: this stage is called Autonomous morality

Step-by-step explanation:

Autonomous morality is characterized by the child's understanding that rules are made by people, for people. The child using autonomous morality is motivated by the feeling of cooperation, and tries to understand the needs, wants, and feelings of others.
