10 to 12 years old

Children aged 10 to 12 begin to develop a deeper understanding of right and wrong.

Ms von Auer said: "At this age, children can engage in higher order thinking and know right from wrong.

"They have grown up with their parents' and peers' influences and values and may have adapted them accordingly.

"At the same time, they understand that rules are not sacred, which may make them disagree with or rebel against certain ones."
