Have you encountered a child, perhaps it could be your own child who when you say, “how are you?”, they repeat, “how are you?”
This form of copying or repeating words and phrases is referred to as echolalia. Echolalia is when you have a child that is repeating verbatim everything you say to them. It is also known as parroting. Echolalia is mostly but not always observed in children on the autism spectrum disorder.
Echolalia is a very typical part of language development in young children. Children will often echo right at the beginning when they start to learn how to talk. I remember when my two year old was about eighteen months he copied a lot of the things I said to him. But by two years he had stopped like a majority of children do, repeating everything and instead started generating some of his own responses
Why do children echo?
1. Limited vocabulary
2. A form of self-stimulation
3. Rigidity in language skills
- A child could use echolalia to repeat often heard words/ phrases in a somewhat appropriate context like questions and praise items.
How to stop echolalia is dependent on the reason your child is echoing.
