Alas, most parents notice that their child does not pronounce any sounds, only when enrolling in first grade. And then drill begins, daily classes with a doctor and at home, just to have time to "pull up" the child until September.
Firstly, this is a load on children - in 3 months to master what they had to learn for 5-6 years.
And secondly, such problems could have been avoided if the parents at least once a year came with the child to a speech therapist. Because only a specialist will in time see violations in the development of speech in a baby. It can be dyslalia - a violation of the pronunciation of certain sounds. Phonetic-phonemic disorders - when a child not only pronounces, but also perceives the sounds of his native language incorrectly. And, finally, a general underdevelopment of speech, when pronunciation, perception, grammar, poor vocabulary and coherent speech are impaired.
What should a child be able to do?
At 3 years old, the baby has every right to distort sounds, build sentences incorrectly. The main thing is that he understands the speech addressed to him and knows how to convey his thoughts to others. If the child is able to fulfill your simple requests, and you understand him, despite the porridge in your mouth, everything is in order. The help of a specialist is needed for three-year-old silent people and those kids who do not understand your simplest requirements. At 4 years old, the child should already speak in such a way that not only parents, but also strangers understand him. By the way, for moms and dads this is a kind of criterion for the "correctness" of the development of their son or daughter. Parents get used to the incorrect speech of their children, and the mother, of course, will be able to "translate" the child's language into an adult. But if a teacher in the garden or a neighbor asks your baby several times, he may need to work out with a speech therapist.
At the age of 5, the child may not yet pronounce the sound "p". And at the age of 6, in front of school, it is considered the norm to have correct pronunciation and use of cases, the ability to speak coherently and competently.
Advice
Very often, children who speak poorly for their age also eat poorly. As a rule, it is a whole problem for them to eat an apple or a carrot, not to mention meat. This is caused by the weakness of the jaw muscles, and it, in turn, delays the development of movements of the articulatory apparatus. Therefore, be sure to force your child to chew crackers and whole vegetables and fruits, bread with crusts and chunks of meat.
To develop the muscles of the cheeks and tongue, show your child how to rinse the mouth. It is necessary to teach how to puff out the cheeks and hold the air, "roll" it from one cheek to the other.
What does it mean to develop fine motor skills. This means - the baby should work as much as possible with his naughty fingers. No matter how tedious it may seem to you, let the baby button up the buttons, lace up his shoes, roll up his sleeves. Moreover, it is better to start training a child not on his own clothes, but first to "help" the dolls and even their parents to get dressed. As children's fingers become more agile, his language will become clearer and clearer not only for mom. It is very useful to sculpt at a young age. Just do not leave the baby alone with plasticine in order to stop his desire to taste the molded ball in time. Many mothers do not trust their child with scissors. But if you stick your fingers into the rings of scissors along with the children and cut out some figures, you get an excellent workout for the hand.
