Parenting: 'Why is my son always changing his accent?'

show, one listener sought advice about her son's tendency to change accents based on TV shows and video games he is consuming.to answer this and other listeners' questions."Sometimes an accent will last a month and sometimes it disappears quickly."

"He loves video games and American TV shows and we are very worried that he's being unduly influenced by these things." "However, on the flipside, we're reluctant to talk to him about it because we are a theatrical family and this may be a period of experimentation for him. We don't want to limit is sense of play.""I would play with this to work out which is it.""See is this in fact a form of role play which would be really healthy.""But just because they leave that phase of early childhood into middle childhood, doesn't mean that should stop.

"I'm curious is this a form of role play, which is great, and it will deepen his capacity for empathy and perspective taking.""However, when we are doing roleplay and we're emersed in it, it's equally important that we know how to derole, that we know when the play ends and I enter back into reality and into my day-to-day life."

"If an accent or a persona is being carried for a month and it doesn't stop, and it's there all the time or at least more often than it's not, and I don't get to that place of 'well, I'm done with that..what's for dinner?', or that I can't talk to you as myself, then I would be curious about what is this.

Funny stuff.

My son has autism he speaks American due to the YouTube videos he watches however if it was not for YouTube shows like Vlad and Nikki or all the shows he watches I reckon my son would not have come on so much I'd rather him speak like a yank Dan never speak at all

Must have been disconcerting after Peaky Blinders alright
