Which possessives change
jego, jej and ich never change: they belong to the owner, not to the thing owned. All the others agree with the noun, like adjectives. swój means “one’s own” and points back to the subject of the sentence, whoever that is.

Widzę swoje dzieci.
I can see my own children.
"swój" agrees with dziecko: neuter plural, accusative. A direct object takes the accusative. "Swój" is used because the owner is the subject of the sentence.
Myślę o waszych pisarzach.
I'm thinking about your writers.
"wasz" agrees with pisarz: masculine plural, locative. 'o' (about) takes the locative.
Tu jest wasz kelner.
Your waiter is here.
"wasz" agrees with kelner: masculine singular, nominative. The subject of the sentence stays in the nominative.
Nie ma tu moich chłopców.
My boys aren't here.
"mój" agrees with chłopiec: masculine plural, genitive. 'nie ma' (there isn't) takes the genitive.
