El desarrollo del sentido ético en el ni？o y la ense？anza de la pediatría

the child's ethical thinking is not installed in his mind as a single act, but as a consequence of an evolving process. kohlberg, based on piaget's studies, described three main developmental stages: preconventional, conventional and post conventional. however, vigostky and others emphasized the importance of the environment for the moral sculpture of children. three models can be recognised for teaching ethics in children: the deontological way, the descriptive way, and the only one morally acceptable: the one used by socrates, by which ethics becomes not merely an adjective, but an institutionalised social practice built on axiological basis.
