Social domain theorists holds the view that children' s autonomy is connected with their capability, personal concepts, moral concepts and social-conventional concepts. And the development of one' s personal concepts is closely related to his distinction of moral and social-conventional domain. Personal concepts are very important for the development of children' s self, autonomy, emotions and their socialization. 190 kindergareners answered our open-questionnaire at first; then 371 kindergareners answered our closed-questionnaire and 18 kindergareners were interviewed, being assessed their conceptions about children' s personal, moral and conventional domain in kindergarten, kindergareners established these three domains. They thought that play, playmate, study and the design in the classroom are personal events ; that fighting, destruction, lie and wasting are concerned with moral domain; that entering kindergartens in the morning, washing hands, drinking, having a nap and how to sit are concerned with conventional domain. There are significant age differences for lindergareners' offerring children' s autonomy, with the most to personal domain, the second to conventional domain and the least to moral domain. There are significant age differences for kindergareners' treatment to children. There are no significant children' s age, sex, Kindergareners' working-year differences forkindergareners' offerring children' s autonomy.
