If yu gɛt pikin we nɔ de ansa to sawnd, ɔ nɔ de mek ɛni sawnd (lɛk fɔ gurg, kray) ivin we i yɔŋ, yu fɔ kɛr am go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm. I rili impɔtant.

Bɔt bɔku tɛm, i nɔ kin izi fɔ mama ɛn papa fɔ ɔndastand if dɛn pikin jɔs de let fɔ tɔk ɔ if prɔblɛm de. I fayn fɔ pe atɛnshɔn to dis divɛlɔpmɛnt we di pikin gɛt frɔm we i smɔl.

Na sɔm tin dɛn we yu fɔ kip yu yay pan. I fayn fɔ tɔk to dɔktɔ if yu pikin de du ɛni wan pan dɛn tin ya:

• bay 12 mכnt (wan ia): If dεn nכ de yuz simpul an jεs, lεk fכ pכynt כ wev "bye-bye."

Dɔn bak, if yu fil se di we aw yu pikin de tɔk at fɔ ɔndastand pas aw i de tɔk bɔt in ej, yu fɔ tɔk to dɔktɔ bɔt dat bak.

Tipikli, mama ɛn papa ɛn di wan dɛn we de kia fɔ dɛn fɔ ebul fɔ ɔndastand lɛk 50% pan wetin pikin we ol 2 ia kin tɔk.

We yu ol 3 ia, yu fɔ ɔndastand lɛk 75%.

We i ol 4 ia, ivin pɔsin we nɔ no di pikin gud gud wan fɔ ebul fɔ ɔndastand bɔku pan wetin di pikin de tɔk.

Wetin na di tin dɛn we kin mek dɛn nɔ ebul fɔ tɔk ɔ tɔk difrɛn langwej dɛn?

Bɔku rizin dɛn kin de we kin mek pikin let fɔ tɔk. Sɔm simpul, bɔt ɔda wan dɛn nid spɛshal atɛnshɔn.

Dɛn rizin ya kin mek pɔsin nɔ ebul fɔ tɔk fayn:

• Yu nɔ kin ebul fɔ tɔk fayn: Fɔ ɛgzampul, prɔblɛm wit yu tɔŋ ɔ yu palata (di tɔp pat pan yu mɔt) .
• Short frenulum: Dis kin mek yu tong-tay, we na wan sik we yu kin kɔrɛkt wit simpul ɔpreshɔn.

Bɔku tɛm, pikin dɛn we nɔ kin ebul fɔ tɔk kin gɛt prɔblɛm wit dɛn mɔt . Dɛn tin ya kin apin we prɔblɛm de wit di pat dɛn na di bren we de mek pɔsin tɔk. Speshal wan, i nɔ kin izi fɔ dɛn fɔ kɔdinɛt di lip, tɔŋ, ɛn jaw fɔ mek dɛn mek sawnd. Pikin dɛn we gɛt dɛn prɔblɛm ya kin gɛt ɔda prɔblɛm dɛn bak wit dɛn mɔt, lɛk fɔ it ɛn swɛla.

Prɔblɛm fɔ yɛri kin gɛt bɔku impak bak pan aw pɔsin de tɔk. If pikin nɔ ebul fɔ yɛri wɔd ɛn sawnd dɛn fayn, aw i go falamakata, ɔndastand, ɛn yuz dɛn? So, if yu gɛt ɛni dawt bɔt aw i de tɔk, i rili impɔtant fɔ mek yu pikin tɛst aw i de yɛri to pɔsin we de stɔdi bɔt aw fɔ yɛri .

Infεkshכn na yu yes , εspεshali infεkshכn dεm we de kכmכt , kin afekt di yεri fכ sכm tεm. Bɔt if fɔ yɛri na nɔmal tin na at le wan yes, bɔku tɛm i nɔ kin mek big prɔblɛm wit aw pɔsin de tɔk ɛn aw i de tɔk.

If yu tink se yu pikin gɛt prɔblɛm lɛk dis, i impɔtant fɔ go to Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) we yu nɔ go te. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl dɛn bak Speech Therapists . Yu kin fɛn pɔsin we de mɛn yu fɔ tɔk yu wan, ɔ aks yu famili dɔktɔ fɔ mek dɛn rifer yu.

Dis pɔsin we de mɛn pipul dɛn we de tɔk to pɔsin go tek tɛm luk aw yu pikin sabi tɔk ɛn aw i sabi tɔk. I go du difrɛn standad tɛst dɛn fɔ no if di pikin dɔn rich di impɔtant tɔk ɛn langwej divɛlɔpmɛnt maylston dɛn we fit in ej.
