The Child and the Formation of Self Identity
Keywords:
change; personality; childhood; environmental factorsAbstract
The child builds himself through continuous searches and differentiations from others, which are not devoid of tensions, conflicts and frustrations. Physical changes, and especially psychological ones, in childhood do not occur linearly, but with oscillations, with periods of inequality, dependent on educational, social, and environmental factors. Following these changes, the personality presents itself for the first time with all its components as an organized and unitary ensemble, but still insufficiently stabilized. The concept of self-identity refers to the definition of one's own person, the sense of who one is and the questions: Who am I? What are my moral and religious values? What are my goals and aspirations?
