Practice with him correctly several times a day. Day in day out.

Answer 2

My son has had complications at diverse cases in the time of faculty taking off at nursery and he's now in 12 months 6. He exceeded his distraction try with the well being centred visitor, stuttered in nursery, became bullied in 12 months 2, began having complications such as his words and became spoke of a speech therapist who stated he had 'Immature pronunciation' and this would get better suited by reading and writing in 12 months 3, 12 months 4 he had his listening to examined and we were instructed it became acceptable. Now he has been spoke of a speech therapist such as his 1st appointment tomorrow as his speech has were given drastically worse over the finest 6 months and he has undesirable complications getting some words out. in spite of everything stated and carried out he's an exceedingly known baby, proper set in all his training, can't wait to bypass to complete college and says his stutter would not worry him! See your well being centred visitor and ask on your son to be referred now so as that you'll have continuity of care as he progresses by college and his self belief will boost alongside the way besides. good success!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Continue to work with him on it. There are a lot of children that cannot produce some phonetics at that age and will grow out of it. If you hear him making errors, say the word to him and have him say it back. When he gets it right, praise him and work like that with him for a couple of weeks. If he shows no progress, then seek a speech pathologist.

Answer 4

Work with him on things that sound like r...like grrrrrr...it really is a developmental thing at this point. Some kids develop these skills later than others. Ask your doctor if you have lots of questions - they can tell you whether or not your son is at the right place in his development or if he may need some help.

Answer 5

Don't worry for the moment atleast..kids normally have such kind of problems in this age..they will overcome it sooner or later..but if he continues with that problem after he is 7 or 8, then you've got something to worry about.

Answer 6

keee rist

back off!! he's only 4 years old.. give him a little time before you get concerned..

when he is old enough for school and theres still a problem with his shh's and r's, it can be dealt with by professionals..

my guess is that he'll be doing just fine by then.. those sounds arent that easy to make your tongue do, especially when your four!!

Answer 7

As early as now, you can consult a Speech Pathologist in your area. It will really help to correct this problem. God bless

Answer 8

You might want to check if he is tongue tied. My brother and i are both tongue tied. Being tongue tied didn't hinder my speech much, but my brother had a really hard time, especially with r's. Being tongue tied can be fixed with a really simple surgery. (my brother had it) A really easy way to see if he is tongue tied is to see if he can stick out his tongue, if he can't he might be tongue tied.

Note: there is a good chance that he isn't tongue tied but check incase.

You ought to take him to a speach therapist or something along those lines.

Answer 9

after some times he will speak correctly,but you have to do one thing that tonsil's if diseased try to ent specialist, you must try to remember simple head injury or some one is genetically like maternal uncle,maama,or other people are related to your son.
