Document Summary
Gender identity: what"s allowing us to expand and contract in terms of forming a gender identity. Routines, stories, rituals: things you can do to maintain your identity: with your families or even your peers and friendships, provide us with a stable identity. Our consciousness depends on others to recognize us. When others don"t recognize you, your identity is at a sort of threat at that moment. Peers: everyone in your social group: have friendships with peers but friendship is a more intimate relationship. Young peers are not staying attentive to each other for too long. They"re not doing the same routines as they wud do with an adult. There"s more novelty in the peer group interactions. They"re more likely to involve : a narrower relationship than with adults. If one baby cries, another baby will cry in response. They toy with each other, pull each other"s hair. Peer is not until at least 1 years of age.
