As per Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children start developing a sense of morality around 2-3 years of age in the pre-operational stage. At this stage, children understand basic rules such as "don't hit" and "share your toys." However, they may have difficulty understanding more abstract rules such as "don't eat food in the living room." Therefore, Carlos would have likely come to the conclusion that rules such as "don't hit" are more important than trivial rules like "don't eat food in the living room" around 2 years of age.
