By age 2, children are aware of their sex (boy or girl).
By age 4, self-descriptions are based on physical features, such as hair color and possessions.
By about age 6, children understand basic emotions and traits, making statements like "I am a nice person."

Development of Self-Concept

The self-concept is the conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires.
It includes knowledge about personality traits, physical characteristics, abilities, values, goals, and roles, as well as the knowledge that one exists as an individual.
