kids start developing their super ego (according to freud) at around like 4 i think.

The Catholic Church - not that it's any official or final arbiter of morality - says that a child is able to tell right from wrong by about age 7. Most psychologists agree that, give or take a year or two depending on the individual development of the child, that this is correct.

it depends on the maturation of the child.

Experience & reality counceling....you know

my son is 7 and knows right from wrong. when people think kids don't, they are just making excused for them. As far an realizing consequences might be a little different, but they know that from an early age too id say around 6 & 7 they get it and can be held accountable

I'm from North Carolina. I've seen 2 year olds with more reasoning skills than some adults, so I can't say I'm sure age has much to do with it. You can learn right from wrong by simple punishment/reward at any age, it's external (not something you reason on your own) but you still learn to from it.

Technically, in Nietzsche's philosophy of perspectivism... There is no such thing as right or wrong.

Good is what enhances your power. Bad is what takes power away.

Such as "I am good, therefore you should follow me, because my opponent is bad and evil.

Over 7 year I already knew when I do things right or wrong.

at the age of 15
