Many children with language delays/disorders demonstrate difficulty appropriately using the subject pronouns of he and she. Some children may only use “he” or may only use “she” regardless of gender. By 4-years-old this grammatical error is no longer age-appropriate. Before practicing the appropriate use of he and she, make sure your child understands the difference between boys and girls. Look through storybooks or magazines together and ask your child to point to boys and girls. Then talk about what the boys and girls are doing in the pictures. For example; She is swimming or He is eating.
