My 3-year-old daughter still talks about herself in the third person. This happens less and less often, most often when he doesn't think twice and speaks quickly. Moreover, she cannot pronounce sh, cz, j / l instead of r yet. Should she already be able to pronounce it? What exercises can I do with her?
Third-person speaking is common in children of this age, and should fade over time and use the form of "me". I suggest observing my daughter in this regard and if nothing changes in the next 6 months, then it would be a good idea to consult a speech therapist.
As for the pronunciation of the sounds sz, ż, cz, dż and the sounds r, they appear only around the age of 5, until then the child has the right to use a substitute in the form of ś, ź, ć, j or s, z, c, dz, and instead of the r sound - the l. It is related to the development of articulation in the child and the mobility of the language. Only when these sounds do not appear after the age of 5, the help of a specialist is recommended. It is worth ensuring that your daughter has good pronunciation patterns, talks as much as possible, listens to fairy tales and reads books, then the speech will develop properly.
