The correct personal pronoun for the noun children is 'they' for the subject, and 'them' for the object of a sentence or clause, for example:The children are planning a picnic. They are pretty excited and it will be a good exercise for them.Pronouns are very important little words. If we did not use them frequently you would hear people's names used alot! These are words that include: you, your, yours, he, she, they, I, me, my, mine, it, we, our, ours, his, hers, theirs, him, her, them.These words fall into different subgroups, such as subjective or personal pronouns that refer to subjects such as people, like "she, him, his, theirs, etc."; objective pronouns that refer to objects or things, like "it" and possessive pronouns that indicate something belongs to someone, such as "her bike, their car, the dog is his, your coat, etc."Children occasionally need help learning these. Have you ever heard a child say "the cookie is hims" instead of "the cookie is his"? These children understand a pronoun should be used in a sentence at a certain point but sometimes chose the wrong one to say. In other children, pronouns are not even used because they do not know how to use them so they continually use the noun form or proper noun. Past a certain age, errors like these are no longer acceptable. For example, at age three a child should be able to use I/me/you/mine. By age 4 a child should be able to use the pronouns he/she/they/we/your. By age 5-6 a child should be able to use his/hers/him/her/yours/our/ours/their/theirs. Further evaluation or screening may be warranted if a child does not use these pronouns at approximately these age ranges or if they use the incorrect one.Pronouns are fairly easy to work on and if homework or practice is sent home, it is usually easy to understand and do. It usually involves pictures of children and adults doing things. In my experience, it takes alot of drill and practice to learn these. In other words, it requires many repetitions of the same word over and over again till it becomes overlearned. Then you can start the next pronoun until all are remediated.The copyright of the article Pronouns Errors in Young Children in speech disorders is owned by Schatze Rasmussen.

Your question muddles pronouns, I place the correct parings below. "his" and "hers" "him" and "her" Not these pronouns are not age specific.
The pronouns use to form questions are interrogative pronouns. Interrogative pronouns take the place of the noun that is the answer to the question.The interrogative pronouns are: who, whom, what, which, whose.Where are you? I'm at school.Which coat do you like? I like the this one.

Its and yours are the possessive pronouns for it and you. Note that possessive pronouns do not use apostrophes.
Yes, pronouns function the same as nouns in a sentence; as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.Examples:Mom made cookies for the children.She made cookies for the children. (subject of the sentence)The cookies that she made are for the children. (subject of the relative clause)Mom made them for the children. (direct object of the verb 'made')Mom made cookies for them. (object of the preposition 'for')
