During this stage, preschool children tend to think of actions as either always being right or always being wrong. Behavior is deemed right or wrong according to whether or not it results in punishment.

Pre-conventional thought
Preschool children are at this thought level. When they make their moral decisions, those decisions will be based on avoiding punishment and satisfying their own desires.
Conventional thought
focuses primarily on listening to others and doing what is helpful. The emphasis and desire is on being a good boy or girl. While this level is beyond that of the preschool child, Kohlberg suggests that because this is the next level, children should be exposed to moral thinking at this level in order to facilitate growth.
