But occasionally lately he'll say things like, "I no like that." And I'll ask, "Can you say 'I don't like that?'" I did it a lot too when he used to say "I help" when he meant that he needed help, not that he wanted to help. So I would encourage him to say "help me" since repeating it back in that situation didn't seem like it would help or make sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547031 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:29:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2547031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: haha! Up until a few months ago DD1 had no concept of being "Chinese". If we asked if she was Chinese she would respond "no, I'm &lt;her name&gt;!". Now when we ask her she responds "no, I'm half Chinese!" 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547024 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:27:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 2547024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I repeat it back correctly but don't ask him to correct himself. </p> <p>"Dada got cup"<br /> "Yes Dada has a cup" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547021 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:26:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2547021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just repeat the correct word but she's still young for me to correct (17 mo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547020 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:26:18 +0000 yin 2547020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I correct with grammar and pronunciation. Then there are cute things that I let slide. When asked where is he from, he will respond, "I'm from Delaware. I'm English." We're Asian so people expect him to say that he is Chinese/Vietnamese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547008 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:22:50 +0000 cascademom 2547008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I correct and then we do a repeating exercise after it. It helps with his language development. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2547007 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:21:26 +0000 MrsRoo 2547007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will repeat back with correct grammar. Sometimes she will repeat it back correctly on her own. Sometimes I'll ask her to repeat it back to me, like if she's learning a new word. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2546997 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:15:50 +0000 BananaPancakes 2546997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that he's 4, yes. Its mainly pronunciation I correct, because he's pretty good about grammar, but he's lazy with pronunciation. My husband does it, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2546995 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:14:55 +0000 lamariniere 2546995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: me too. I don't make them repeat it unless they really botch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2546984 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:07:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2546984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that DD1 is 4 I am starting to correct her on using the correct pronouns and when talking about time. Like she will use her for a boy, or say yesterday when talking about something that happened earlier in the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2546973 Thu, 12 May 2016 07:53:09 +0000 Alba4 2546973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to repeat back using correct grammar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-correct-your-lo#post-2546964 Thu, 12 May 2016 07:42:15 +0000 Bao 2546964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO says something incorrectly, do you correct them? </p> <p>Both of my girls are young, 2 and 3 so I don't always correct them. I will occasionally but for the most part I don't. </p>
