on the whole, I agree, but kids develop at very different rates. One of my siblings could read at age 2; another couldn't read until age 6. Same household, same parents, same upbringing, etc. So what sounds like "advanced" speech for kids can be legit, depending on their environment.

Hard agree, and not just in fanfic. I've seen this a lot in profic, too. You get a lot of 8-year-olds who are either speaking in babytalk, or portrayed as annoyingly precocious sitcom kids.

I'm no expert either, but just based on interactions with young relatives and hanging around the daycare where my mom worked when I was growing up, the average normally-developing kid is way more verbally sophisticated than the average writer seems to think. Without being Stewie from Family Guy.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-27 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Toooooootally agree.

I really like kidfic in theory, but the writer has to be able to write kids well (rare enough on its own), and also I don't like it at all when the kid is super young bc I find babies and toddlers wildly uninteresting, and also I hate timeskip fic

So based on that combination of things, the amount of kidfic I like in practice is very small

i saw one person write a 12 year old character whose two front baby teeth still hadn't grown in and spoke with a lisp. even worse, this author had an actual child who was 12 in real life so there's no way she didn't know any better.

I work with toddlers and I absolutely agree. It is painfully obvious when people are writing kidfic that have no clue about kids.

Man, this.
And ALL the kids are either 'special' (meaning, like Sheldon Cooper in some aspect) or 'special' (meaning on the spectrum) or 'special' (meaning horribly abused and traumatized and now main!character can foster/adopt and make them happy.

None of which are generally handled well, at all.

Yeah, I think in general writing kids and their speech patterns/their personalities is hard to get right, fanfic works or professional works.

I generally have always been around kids (siblings, cousins, friends continually have had kids since I was a teen; and before that, I was generally one of those kids pushed to look after the other kids when my parents and uncles and aunts would have large gatherings) so I tend to think I'm good at gauging how kids act and talk.

It's like people think they have to write kids as either Michelle from Full House or Sheldon from Young Sheldon.

I completely agree with you on badly-written children in kidfic (though to be fair, fanfic writers are hardly the only offenders on that front), but I have to say that I can easily imagine a very young Raymond Holt quoting your second example verbatim, and the image of it is giving me the giggles.
