Does your toddler talk about themselves in the 3rd person?

My son just turned 3 yesterday and he actually does this. When we go shopping, if he sees something he wants, he will say, "Justice likes this". I think it probably is normal. I don't remember my daughter doing it though, but I'm sure it is still common for them to do that because we always call them by their name or when we are talking about them, we say their name to others so they hear us saying their name. I love the name Harmony! It is one of my favorites!

I never heard it from my toddler who's going to be three years old this january, she never talks about herself in third person, but i do sometimes observed that she is talking with herself and her imaginary friends almost all of the times when she's no one to play around.

I love the name Harmony. We met a little girl in the mall about her age with her Mommy and Aunt, and her name was Harmony. That's so great!! Anyway, we never did that, as toddlers. Our mother taught us "I, you, he, she, we, they" and how to use them. "Does Leah need a larger size?" Spoken to Mom from our Aunt, asking if the sweater she bought me would fit, or if I needed a different one. "Do you want a cookie?" My Aunt asked me directly. A lot of adults talk to kids in the third person, because they don't know if kids know their pronouns yet. We never had that. If someone talked to me in the third person, even as a toddler, I'd ask why they are talking to me as if I'm not there. haha I always was a pedantic child, even at that age! haha

This is very common relax! They listen to you and when you talk about her to other people this is how she relates to her self! It'll go away! Just wait til she gets her imaginary friends, this'll throw you for a real loop! tdemex

my son was like this all of the time when he was that age. he's 1/2 of what he used to be now that he's turning 4. the only difference now is he says his two names . many toddlers are like this. this is where sesame street's elmo character was patterned. elmo never says i. he always says, "elmo likes to run. elmo likes to eat. elmo likes to play." and if you'd look at what the company says about him: elmo is just 3 years old. forever 3 that is .

My daughter is 3 and she always addresses herself in the third person She always expresses herself with her name I think it is common I have seen a few kids doing that
