Final Answer :
A,B,C
Explanation :
Moral development depends on the child's ability to accept social responsibility and integrate personal principles of justice and fairness.In addition,the child's knowledge of right and wrong and behavioral expression of this knowledge must be founded on respect and regard for the integrity and rights of others.Piaget's theory,not Kohlberg's,states that as the child grows from infancy into adolescence,the intellectual development progresses,starting with reflex and repetitive motion responses,to the use of symbols and objects from the child's point of view,to logical thinking,and finally to abstract thinking.
