Did you know that children do not have a Self-Concept until they are about 18 months old? The idea of Self-Concept is that shortly knowing who you are, later on what you belief, which gender you have etc., in other words to be able to identify your self. The development of Sef-concept is very important for a child, because it is the beginning of individuation, the child becomes seperate from others and is a single human being. Whether children became a self-concept or not can be simply checked, when they identify their selves in a mirror. Parents or researches try this out by putting red rouge on the nose of the child and put it in front of a mirror...Here are some videos to show the difference between a child you get Self-concept and who didn't get it yet...By the way I tried this experiment too and the little babygirl thought it was another girl who has red rouge on the nose, that was really cute, but unfortunately I didn't take that moment on cam....
1) This little girl is still younger than 18 months old, because of this she does not realize that it her in front of the mirror, that's why she doesn't try to wipe off the rouge from her face, or touch her own face.
2) This little boy has developed Self-Concept, because as he sees the make-up in his face in the mirror, he touches his reals face and knows that the rouge is on his face.
