How does self differ from a newly born child to an older child? |
A newly born child child's self is still developing while an older child's self has a well-defined self. Self remains static and unchanged from birth to childhood. Self only emerges in older children and is absent in newly born infants. Both newly born children and older children have a similar understanding of self. |
Self only emerges in older children and is absent in newly born infants. |
A newly born child has no idea of its self. As a child grows older, the idea of self emerges and its formation begins. Parents, friends, teachers and other significant persons play a vital role in shaping a child’s ideas about self. Our interaction with other people, our experiences, and the meaning we give to them, serve as the basis of our self. The structure of self is modifiable in the light of our own experiences and the experiences we have of other people. |
