Self-descriptions Early Childhood (3-5) “I’m 3 years old and I live in a big house with my mom and dad and my brother, Jason, and my sister Lisa. I have blue eyes and a kitty that is orange and a television in my own room. I know all of my abc’s…I can run real fast…”

Early to Middle Childhood (5-7) “I have a lot of friends, in my neighborhood, at school, and at church. I’m good at schoolwork, I know my words, and letters and my numbers. I can run fast, and I can climb high…I can throw a ball real far, and I’m going to be on some kind of team when I am older. I can do lots of stuff real good…”

Late Childhood / Early Adol. (8-11) “I’m in fourth grade this year and I’m pretty popular, at least with the girls. That’s because I’m nice to people and helpful and can keep secrets. Mostly I’m nice to my friends, although if I’m in a bad mood I sometimes say something mean. I try to control my temper but when I don’t I’m ashamed…At school I’m pretty smart in certain subjects like Language Arts …”
