I'm the mother
And it's hard for me to write in Hebrew here, sorry. I would like to add, he is very advanced on all other aspects of language and forms complex sentences with if and but in both languages, knows all the letters (visual and by hearing) etc. In his gan they tell us he has a vocabulary and expression ability of a 4 year old at least. He talks really a lot, remembers books and TV programs by heart, etc. But it's as if he has a blockage about this, almost as if he does it from akshanut. When I ask him how would pilpilon/liviatan/barbaaba say this sentence, he knows to say it the right way, with "ani", but when it comes to himself, it's ata. Since I talked about it with the pediatrician in his presence he on the spot refused to answer a question (to which the answer was ani) at all, only indicating himself by hand, and since then this happens more and more. Recently he tends to say his name in such cases, as if not wanting to acknowledge that he is wrong and should say ani. At one point I decided to insist and I overdid it, so I dropped the subject for a fey days, and now I'm trying to mention it from time to time. I understand you're not supposed to tell him he's wrong but I don't know what to tell him or how. Thank you for any advice !
