Your Child Is Likely To Call Herself By Her First Name

‘Myra wants ball’ instead of ‘I want ball’ or ‘Myra dress’ rather than ‘My dress’. Isn’t it the way your little angel talks right now? She would be using her first name rather than using an I or My. Your cutie pie is learning to talk and form sentences and will be using her name to tell you what she wants or what she feels.

What you need to know

It is very common for kids this age to use their first name to talk about themselves. This is because they are so accustomed to others using their name while talking to them so the concept of ‘I’ and ‘Me’ has still not developed. You need not force your child to change into an I as it will happen gradually on its own.
