I don’t mean toddlers who are just learning. Dcb, age 4, constantly says things like, “Her’s going to play with me.”.....”Let’s pick we’re toys up.”....”He ate him’s snack.” Etc.

I’ve been repeating the sentence back to him, with correct speech. “She’s going to play with you.” I don’t think his parents do anything....they seem to enjoy him being more babyish, but I think four is old enough to be learning proper speech, within reason. My other 4’s have a good grasp of it.

What do y’all think?
