Subject: Stages of Moral Development

Wednesday morning I was listening to the cartoons my 6 year old was watching. There was a little boy about 4 years old on the cartoon. He'd found a jump rope in his front yard.He didn't know who it belonged to so he asked around. His older sister told him to just keep it; finders keepers, losers weepers. His imaginary dinosaur friends told him the whole concept sounded fishy. Later on in the story the boy meets a troll who is wearing a pair of glasses he found. The glasses belonged to the dinosaur friend, and the troll told them finders keepers; losers weepers.
They were no on the other end of the problem.Finally the little boy realized what the right thing to do was and got his friend's glasses returned. When the boy returned to the real world, he put together a neighborhood lost and found so that no one would be a loser weeper.
His stage of moral development in the story was at least a 3 or 4 and supposedly 4yr olds don't think like that. I wonder if the author took that into consideration or are they just trying to make sure that the media for children stays positive and within societies moral parameters.
