To develop a sense of self, Gordon & Browne (2019) indicate that “children need to have several key experiences in the early years” (p. 449). These key experiences include interactions with individuals and environments in their culture to understand boundaries, how to define appropriate and inappropriate behavior, and how their place in society is valued. Using the Four ‘I’s, thoroughly describe how children shape their self-image and how this image influences their relationship with others. Lastly, describe the role teachers play in supporting the growth of a positive self-image.
