This child is beginning to realistically scan her abilities and compare herself to others. It is common for children around the age of 8 to start becoming more self-aware and comparing themselves to others, which can sometimes lead to negative self-talk. This is a normal part of development and can be addressed by building self-esteem and providing opportunities for the child to feel successful in different areas.
