Topic: Son refers to self in 2nd person Help! Posted By: Erika Date: 01 Jan 2002 7:55 AM
Does anyone know why my 4 yr old son would be refering to himself in
the second person. Such as Joey wants a drink, Joey is hungry. This
just started when I came home from being away for 2 days and he was
with his grandmothers.thank you for any thoughts

I believe this is normal and sometimes even continues as kids start
school. It just gives your child a sense of independence and he may
just like saying his own name. It's not something to worry about and
he will grow out of it. Just continue using the correct pronouns when
you speak about yourselves and others and he'll get back to that.
