Human Growth and Development / Unit 4 HGD 0452 short lesson, about 20 seconds
A Sense of Self
Captions available
The idea
A sense of self, awareness of oneself as different from others, grows from combined milestones, and later develops into a self-concept.
In practice
Reaching the feet, sitting up and repeating interesting actions adding up to "that is me."
Where people slip
Many Western middle-class parents stress autonomy; many non-Western cultures stress the child's place in the family. Senses of self still share much across cultures.
