摘要：The most acceptable assumption in the past in child language acquisition research was that parents do not correct the grammatical errors of their children. However, today scholars believe that parents use different kind of corrective responses. To address these issues, this study focuses on Iranian parents' correction of children's errors. The samples of the present study were 62 educated parents in the city of Babol who had children between the ages of 2 to 5. These parents were supposed to answer three main questions regarding children's error correction. 1) How do you usually correct your child errors? 2) What kind of errors do you mostly correct? 3) How do you understand your child recognized the correction? The results of the study revealed that although parents claimed that they are used to children's errors and even enjoy errors their children make, about 61% of parents corrected children's errors. The results also revealed that parents correct children's grammatical errors more than other kind of errors.
