What’s an example of the dialogue? My parents never modified their language for me when I was a child an in retrospect it was a huge advantage when I entered elementary school.
I talk to my kids as if they were naive colleagues. I think they learn a lot this way, and if not, it at least seems fairly harmless.

Yes I also talk with my daughter like a friend. This becomes easier on both of us.

A minor but *important* nuance: speaking to a naive colleague should not imply speaking pedantically.
