age kids know between wrong and right
A 2-year-old, it turns out, knows the difference between right and wrong. According to psychologist Judi Smetana, the sense of morality begins to develop early in humans. And by the time children are 3 to 4 years old, they recognize certain behaviors â such as hitting â as wrong, even when no one is watching, says Smetana, a professor at the University of Rochester.
