Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Preconventional morality is the earliest period of moral development. It lasts until around the age of 9. At this age, children’s decisions are primarily shaped by the expectations of adults and the consequences of breaking the rules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first two stages, at level 1, preconventional morality, occur before the individual has even become aware of social conventions. At stage 2 (from age 5 to age 7, or up to age 9, in some cases), children learn that it is in their interest to behave well, because rewards are in store if they do.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autonomous Morality (9-10 yrs) The stage of autonomous morality is also known as moral relativism – morality based on your own rules. Children recognize there is no absolute right or wrong and that morality depends on intentions not consequences.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two stages during the preconventional level are obedience/punishment and self-interest or instrumentalism. Preconventional moral reasoning occurs when children follow rules to avoid punishment or to receive a reward.
