Self-awareness typically develops between 14 - 18 months of age.How you can tell when a baby recognizes himself in the mirror? This was discovered when researchers put a red smudge on a baby’s nose and then had him look in the mirror. Before a baby recognizes himself in the mirror, he’ll ignore the mark on his nose. But once a baby has developed self-awareness, he’ll try and wipe the smudge off when he sees it in the mirror.⁣⁣⁣⁣

As a baby grows from a little guy to a toddler, he becomes aware of himself. Self-awareness means your baby is learning that he’s a separate member of the family. And with these new developments comes emotional growth like embarrassment, envy, and empathy.⁣⁣⁣
