Summary Introduction

Introduction:

When the infants begin to interact with the important people in their life, then the development of the image of oneself develops, and it is called as “self-concept”. When the child feels the surrounding world, they slowly learn to separate “me” from both surroundings and physical appearances and the other persons who are present in their world.

According to Erikson’s theory, it is important to pay attention to the baby who is crying because he may be showing attention for hunger, wetness, and pain. He proposed the importance of social relationships to develop the personality and also disagreed with letting a child “cry it out”.
