Many young children make up words or rearrange words and it is perfectly normal. They are not actually saying the word backwards. They are just rearranging the words so it is easier for them to say. If you repeat the words to them correctly they will most likely adapt with age. Overall you should not worry about your child’s speech they rearrange words naturally. Have you ever heard a child say pasketti or busketti instead of spaghetti?
My son used to say aminals instead of animals and my 6 y.o. daughter says Statue of Delivery instead of Statue of Liberty and she used to say westawan instead of restaurant. My mother in law told me that my husband as a kid used to call his sister Lisa “himis”. I thought it was hilarious so I decided to question my facebook readers what funny words do their kids say or used to say. Some answers were cracking me up. Parents gotta write the words down for future to remember and tell their kids. So I decided to include my top hilarious picks from my readers what funny words do their kids say.
