Speech difficulties can lead to your child feeling upset or misunderstood when they struggle to express their emotions and feelings. Clear speech is essential for them to communicate effectively, build mutual understanding, and form strong connections with others.
If left unaddressed, speech difficulties can impact a child’s development across multiple domains—whether it be social interactions, academic performance, or emotional well-being.
How can I help develop my child’s speech clarity at home?
Engage in meaningful conversations to encourage your child to articulate and express their emotions! Read with your child to explore different words and sounds! Use a mirror to provide your child with visual feedback on how their mouth and lips move when speaking. Practice, practice, practice!
