What are the three stage process of the development of self according to mead?

Mead details the development of the self in a three-stage process: <ol> <li> In the preparatory stage (0-3 years old), children imitate the people around them, especially family members with whom they have daily interaction. During this stage, children are just preparing for role-taking. </li> <li> During the play stage (3 to 5 years old), children start to view themselves in relation to others as they learn to communicate through language and other symbols. Children do not perceive role-taking as something expected of them. At this stage, the self is developing. </li> <li> In the game stage (begins in the early school years; about 8 or 9 years old) children understand not only their own social position but also those of others around them. During this stage, the self is now present. </li> </ol> Signup and view all the answers
