How do children develop their self-perceptions


Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph?

How do children develop their self-perceptions? In early childhood, self-appraisals are not very accurate or realistic. Most children under 8 years rate themselves positively-too positively. Even children who always strike out when they are at bat might say they are "good at athletics," and even the class troublemaker might claim to be "well behaved." For children of this age, self-perceptions might reflect what they "want to be" rather than who they are. However, although discrepancies between self-ratings and reality do exist, children's self-assessments relate moderately well to their teachers' assessments, which suggests that children's views of their own competencies have at least some reality (Harter, 2012, 2016). With development and a history of feedback from others, children become more realistic in their self-appraisals. The "strike-out kid" no longer has a view of himself or herself as a baseball star, and the class troublemaker has had enough detentions and trips to the principal's office to realize that he or she is not a good candidate for a "well-behaved child" poster (Harter, 2012). Children who are rejected by their peers accept this judgment and view themselves as low in social competence (Rubin et al., 2015). Need Assignment Help?
