Q:
My 3 year old uses pronouns "me, her, him, them" instead of "they, she, I," for example, "him going to the store." Is this a problem?

Hi Dunnah,
Our daughter had a similar issue with pronouns when she was three. While we worked to correct her, she didn't really grasp the correct pronoun use until kindergarten and first grade. (She's in second grade now, and does well academically, including using pronouns correctly.)

No, that is not a problem at all. This is very common and normal. Don't worry about it.
