It's so fun talking with kids of all ages and watching them learn and practice new skills. Of course, while learning, they will make plenty of mistakes. As a parent, the instinct might be to stop and specifically correct them, but this is not always necessary. Our kids learn a tremendous amount from listening to us have conversations.
Instead of making a pointed correction you can simply model the correct way to say it in your response. This allows your little one to feel like you are engaged and participating in the conversation without the focus being on the mistake. It may take a few times, but they often will self correct if given time and more opportunity to practice.
What are you all talking about at the breakfast table these days?
