Yes - But only if the child has been training those skills with you individually at home. Do not correct a child when the model answer was not practiced before. It creates a lot of stress. Always teach in a controlled environment first. You wouldn’t want have your first ski lesson at a mountain top right?

No - Only provide feedback. This is when you say what your child is supposed to say instead, but do not require him/her to repeat or correct what was just said.

Modelling is better than correcting. If you want to hear your child say in a certain sentence length or structure, then you must be doing more of that yourself.
