How can we improve children’s unclear speech?

Generally speaking, it is normal for children to speak unclearly before the age of three, because their pronunciation organs are not yet fully developed at this time. However, if the child still has symptoms of slurred speech after this age, timely measures should be taken to improve it. However, many parents feel very confused about this. The editor below will explain some effective methods, hoping to be helpful to all parents.

1. Correct your child’s incorrect pronunciation at any time. When communicating with children, if you find that their pronunciation is wrong or they are unclear about a syllable, you must point it out and correct it immediately. Be patient and teach several times until your child can practice the correct pronunciation.

2. Help your child create a pronunciation file. Parents should pay more attention to observe which words their children pronounce unclearly, and then make a record of these words and train their children to pronounce these words every now and then. This is a process of accumulation, and slowly the child's pronunciation will improve greatly.

3. Don’t laugh at or scold your child for speaking unclearly. Some parents are very disgusted when their children speak unclearly, and sometimes even laugh at and scold their children. This will not only greatly dampen the child's enthusiasm and self-confidence, but will also aggravate the stuttering and sometimes even cause stuttering. It will cause more harm to children's physical and mental health. Parents should encourage their children more and cultivate their self-confidence, and their children will become better and better.

4. Teach your children to recite articles and actively train their expressive abilities. When your child is reciting an article, you can give him or her a small piece of candy and ask him or her to hold it in his or her mouth and press it under his or her tongue. This can effectively correct the child's stuttering. After your child finishes reciting, be sure to ask him or her to spit out the candy.

In general, when children speak unclearly, the problem is solved by correction methods. Therefore, parents must patiently follow the editor's suggestions and persist for a long time. However, if the symptoms still cannot be relieved, the child should be taken to the pediatric clinic for examination in time. If necessary, medication or surgical treatment can be used.
