Hi, first time posting. Just wondering if anyone has ever had a child or seen a child that speaks ONLY in third person. I am an at home daycare provider in Waldorf and have a new little boy who speaks this way. Otherwise a very bright and sweet kid. Doesn't bother me, sorta used to it now but have never come across this???

My son is 3 1/2 and can hold his own conversations w/ other adults. He's too funny! But ... we've never used baby talk with him.
I do remember, however, when he was learning to talk he would talk in 3rd person ... but I'm thinking that because we did w/ him. Mommy is going to be right back. Is Jacob hungry? He took his cues from us. But he grew out of it.
Even today he when he means to say "I am" he says "I are" because my questions are always phrased w/ "are you"
Perhaps this is due to issues of how he is talked to in his own enviornment? I'm sure the more practice he has the better he'll get!

His parents must talk to him that way. "Does Timmy want a snack?". Just my guess.robbie said:

: This thread reminds me of a Seinfield episode. 
Schizo does not think it is weird. Schizo believed it is a phase.
