[quote=Anonymous]I agree with you OP. I never correct. I think it is particularly bad to correct grammar in young kids. They have done studies on this. Correction is not a great way to teach children good habits or behaviors. The best way to ensure your child becomes an adult with proper grammar is to use proper grammar yourself. You should also make sure that their school demonstrates and teaches proper grammar. If these supports are in place, your child will naturally develop proper grammar without you needing to correct them, and certainly not constantly. Also, your child is more likely to come to you for help with something like reviewing their writing for school or listening to a speech they are giving for a class or activity, and if they ask for your feedback and they have a glaring grammar error, you could correct it. That's different then constantly telling you seven year old, "You mean Larla and I, not me and Larla."[/quote]
