ability and understanding of your growing child, but they are most certainly objective.
If you tell him not to cross the street and he does, he has objectively violated your objective rule.
When he's older and you let him know that you know have different objective standards for him, he knows that he can make the decision as to whether or not it is safe for him to cross the street at a given point in time.
He also knows the other objective rules that now apply to him, however. He can't drink & drive, for instance, and may have a specific curfew of when he needs to be home and so on.
Even as adults our actions are proscribed by objective laws and rules. We can't run red lights is an objective standard, even if the police or judges might waive them in certain circumstances, such as if you're driving someone to the hospital in an emergency situation, or if the light has been stuck on red for 15 minutes or longer.
