imitation - children copy the interpersonal communication of adults in order to learn how to form roles"
role taking - children start experimenting with roles so as to try and work out how and when to adopt a certain role
Role taking symbolically - since an older child may know what to expect of a role, he/she can figure out when to use a certain role in a situation by a means of schema or "perceptual sets" and so can mentally picture what the features of a certain role are and whether these are compatible with the situation they are in
Also, consider how parents treat their children:
Are their actions respected?
Do they have clearly defined and reinforced boundaries?
Do parents make their child feel accepted?
You might also want to consider how the treatment of a child's parent may lead to the development of a self-fulfilling prophecy in the child that can be confirmed or diconfirmed by interpersonal resposnes of the parents.

The self concept is arguably developed from a very early age thru these stages:

You could also use a bit of transactional analysis i.e what sort of "script" or "life-plan" may a child adopt at an early age and if this can be developed through receiving "strokes" - there are susposed to be two life plans, winners and losers

You could also use cooley's looking glass self i.e children look at the interpersonal behaviour of their parents when interacting with them and try to see how their parents perceive them - this may not necessarily be true due to other factors.

piaget gave 3 stages of development which are applied to the different age groups.

And secondly kids aren't applicable in the looking glass theory and where they are it's very loose because kids don't lose their super ego until they are about 10 or 11...due to this they have no empathetic skills or nature and can't imagine what others think of them, such as autistic people.
