They're still too young to know better, and hopefully they'll grow out of it shortly.

I started calling my mom by her first name as a teenager, whenever she failed to respond to the same question/request directed to 'mom'. It got instant results. I still use it whenever I don't want to have to repeat myself or to get her immediate attention.

No kids here, but I can imagine how joyful hearing that was. Especially, as 'mama' is much easier to say and so is likewise far more frequent as a first word.
