Tyrel is only 5 years old. He is angry at his brother and is about to hit him when he stops. According to Lawrence Kohlberg, it is most likely that Tyrel did not hit his brother because he:

does not want to get into trouble.

Explanation:

Kohlberg has suggested three different levels of moral dilemmas that are presented in chronological order: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional and each level is further divided into two sub-category. The first stage of moral development, obedience and punishment is particularly common in young children, but this kind of reasoning can also be demonstrated by adults. Kids see rules as set and absolute at this point, Kohlberg says. It's necessary to obey the rules because it's a way to avoid punishment. Taylor's reaction is the example of the first stage of Kohl-bergs moral development.
