DEVELOPING THE IDEA OF MATURITY
This awareness is shown in such behavioral acts as disobedience and the use of the word 'no' with empaasis, because the child is aware that he does not have to obey parental commands. Parent commands (moral imperative) are given through out these two years first for the child's own safety, for instance, don't touch the fire and secondly, so that he begin to develop some sense of right and wrong!
An adult is able to weigh the consequences of his actions, partly because he has developed a concept of idea of time. The young child lack this concept and his governed by his immediate desires which must be fulfilled. Thus, in some situations, he can excuse from not behaving morally I.e, making the choice which is 'good' for himself and others. In another word or situation, he knows what is right and choose not to do it. Through immature, adult can also behave in this self-centered way.
