what's the word??

this is driving me nuts....what do you call the skill that develops when children start to realise that words are entities in themselves and can begin to separate the word from the meaning e.g. that caterpillar is a long word even though it's a small thing?? have a feeling it might be an m-word, meta-something?? anyone??
