Help your child speak more clearly~

Parents often want to correct their child's speech sounds by having him repeat the correct way to say a word.  Then, often times the child incorrectly says the word again...and again.  This doesn't seem to help.  Here is my recommendation: just model the correct pronunciation and leave it at that.  This accomplishes two things: 1) It reassures your child that you understood his message. 2) It models the correct speech sound production.  Do not have your child try to correctly produce words unless you have been guided by a speech-language pathologist to do so!  Good intentions can sometimes lead to more frustration.

    I am a speech-language pathologist.  And I am a mom.  I understand what it feels like to want your child to succeed.
