The childhood playfulness of attention comparative study between preschool and elementary school children had some very interesting results.
The fact that children under the age of six do not have the cognitive reasoning to realize that making a decision with insufficient information will statistically correlate in a wrong answer essentially gives them a moral free pass when deciding upon actions.
Therefore, children should not necessarily be responsible for their moral decisions under the age of 6, because attention and reason are not yet connected. So next time my 4 year-old cousin decides “wrongly”, it may not be his fault, yet, and it will be difficult for me to scold him.
