Almost all parents were faced with the problem of fuzzy pronunciation of the sound "r" in a child at an early age. In this case, you can turn to a speech therapist for help. But now this service is paid. Or you can try to correct the wrong "growl" yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Sometimes such a defect in a child seems funny. However, as professional speech therapists have proven, this problem can remain for life. Therefore, the main thing is to start classes on time. If your child is already four years old, then you can do special exercises to help you pronounce this sound correctly.
Step 2
Place the child in a chair so that the child's arms and body are in a calm, relaxed state. Sit down next to you. Exercises should be done so that the child sees his face in the mirror. This will help him to study independently in the future.
Step 3
Start with the Sail exercise. Let the child open his mouth. The wide part of the tongue should be placed behind the front teeth. Press the edges of the tongue to the upper molars. Bend your back forward. It is necessary to hold the tongue in this position for ten seconds. Repeat the exercise 3-4 times.
Step 4
Next task: lightly bite the tip of the tongue. Have the child fold their lips into a smiling position. After that, you need to carefully, in the amount of 7 - 9 times, bite the tip of the tongue.
Step 5
Then invite your child to do the horse exercise. Have the child place the tip of the tongue against the palate and start clicking the tongue. The exercise is carried out slowly at first, then faster and faster. You need to do it for two to three minutes.
Step 6
And at the end of the session, the child must perform the "woodpecker" exercise. Have the baby lightly tap the tubercles behind the upper front teeth with the tip of the tongue. At the same time, he must try to pronounce the letter "d". In this case, the mouth should be open. Perform the exercise for twenty seconds. Then ask your child to say the sound "p".
Step 7
Conduct activities as a game. For example, exercises can be alternated with a comic game "start the engine of the car." The child will try to say "brrrr" or "brrrrym." Over time, after 2 - 3 months, your baby will be able to clearly pronounce the letter "p". However, despite all the diligence, the result can be expected for a long time. In this case, it is better to entrust the work to a professional speech therapist.
