My 6 y/o niece seem to progress slowly with her speech development. She still talks like a toddler. Whenever she would like to eat for example, she would say "Mayi papa" (which she meant Mommy, I want to eat). And her parents somehow still talks to her the way she does. How can I advise her parents re this matter without crossing the line and making them feel like they are doing something wrong?
