Re: Characters who don't look (or act) their age

Sorry I'm not providing a specific example, but child characters almost always feel off to me. Like, so many writers seem to have no idea how to write them in a developmentally appropriate way. You'll have kids who are like eight or nine still talking like they're three or four, and you'll have six year olds spout wisdom and just be way too reflective than is realistically likely. Toddlers are always the worst, it feels like so many writers have never once interacted with one - they don't seem to have a sense of realistic speech patterns and grasp of grammar.
