Winged may I ask you a professional question

You work with school age kids and speech right?

So Jack is four. He still has muddle mouth sometimes. Like he can't say his Rs and Ls yet for example. You know stuff like that. When does that become a concern? Is there a natural age that kids grow out of the sort of lazy pronunciation stage? I am just wondering if I can continue to be a breezy mom and assume this will all fix itself or at somepoint I should become concerned that my kid still says wunch instead of lunch.

Re: Winged may I ask you a professional question

  • L and R problems are totally developmentally normal at 4 years. those are two of the later developing sounds, along with blends, etc.

     

    The concern would be that if it is having an impact on learning if he is in school. Is he in school? 

     

    Keep  being easy breezy though, IMO.

  • He is in preschool/daycare. I don't think it has any impact on him now as far as learning.

    Thank you!!!!

  • Good! Sounds like things are a ok.

    If you ever do get concerned www.asha.org is the national agency for speech pathology and has great parent resources as well as a guide of licensed providers in your area!
