Heterogeneous morality: This morality occurs at the age of 5 to 9 years. This morality is imposed on the children from outside sources like their parents will impose morality on children. The children obey morality as the rules and regulations of others that can not b change.

Autonomous morality: This morality occurs between the age of 9 to 10. It is also called moral relativism. In this morality, children think about there no right or wrong and morality is based on intentions, not on consequences. Moral understanding under this age going for fundamental reorganization.
