Modern doctors believe that all other sounds the child should pronounce correctly by 4.5 years. However, the production of the sound "p" is given significantly more time - the kid has the right to make friends with the letter "R" only to 5-6 years.
Meanwhile, it is by no means always necessary to immediately contact a speech therapist, if your child indistinctly utters some sounds. In many cases, parents are able to help their child on their own, with little effort.
Do not forget that a small child may get frightened and be ashamed of someone else's person, which means that engaging with a speech therapist will not bring any tangible benefit. It is much more effective to deal with the baby at home, where he feels relaxed and comfortable. In this article we will tell you about how parents can quickly and correctly put a child's sound "P", without resorting to a qualified specialist.
Exercises of articulatory gymnastics for sounding "R"
- "Clinking" tongue. This exercise is useful to teach a baby about one year of age.
- "Paint brush". Here the child strokes the upper sky with a tongue, as if painting with a brush. In this case, the kid should smile and open his mouth a little.
- "Pendulum" - a crumb out tongue and shakes it from side to side.
"Harmonic". The child opens his mouth as wide as possible, and then closes it quickly and quickly. This sequence of actions can be repeated for a very long time. - You can also "clean" the teeth with a tongue, depicting a brush.
Some parents also turn to a speech therapist asking how to put a soft "R" sound to the child. If the sound is already mastered by your child, and the sound "Pb" does not work at all, try the following exercise: the child should "growl" as long as possible and connect the sound of "P" with all the vowels in turn. In this case, you need to stretch your lips into a smile.
