My friends will continue to intentionally and enthusiastically mis-use all the kid-pidgin as a form of sarcastic performance art, as it has so far achieved the main goal of embarrassing their two girls into never using any of it. They speak like people, instead of vapid 'gram zombies; at least at home.
Speak to your kids like little adults and their speech and vocabulary explodes. They also sense the respect that many adults don’t give them. I loathe adults that talk down to children.

My friend has a toddler and I always spoke to her like a regular person who just happened to not know things. She seemed to respect it a lot.
