According to George H. Mead, the key to children's development of the self is their acquisition of language. Mead believed that language allowed children to internalize the attitudes and beliefs of others, allowing them to develop a sense of self and differentiate themselves from others. This is why children are said to go through a process of learning to take on the role of the other, which involves learning to see themselves from the perspective of other people.
