Child characters in fiction have only a few settings under most of Hollywood, who it seems never met a child they weren’t forced to. (And according to some stories by former child actors shouldn’t be allowed to.) You have the swear happy young adult eight-year-old, the cute and adorable, and the Arnold Drummond clone. That’s if you can even get a writer to have a kid character at all. Writer Martin Dweller gives some suggestions on how to make your kids sound like actual kids instead of young adults or toddlers.
