Wetin na di sayn dɛm we de sho se pɔsin de tɔk ɔ langwej delay? Ustɛm wi fɔ wɔri?

If yu gɛt pikin we nɔ de ansa ɛni sawnd ɔ we nɔ de mek ɛni sawnd atɔl, yu fɔ kɛr am go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm. Dat na sɔntin we yu fɔ du. Bɔt bɔku tɛm, i nɔ kin izi fɔ mama ɛn papa fɔ ɔndastand if dɛn pikin jɔs let smɔl fɔ bigin tɔk, ɔ if sɔntin rili rɔng we nid fɔ pe atɛnshɔn to am.

Na sɔm tin dɛn we yu fɔ kip yu yay pan. If yu pikin sho ɛni wan pan dɛn sik ya, mek shɔ se yu tɔk to dɔktɔ:

• Ivin we yu rich 12 mɔnt: If yu nɔ yuz jes lɛk fɔ pɔynt ɔ se ‘tata’.

Dɔn bak, if yu pikin in tɔk at fɔ ɔndastand fɔ in ej, dat min se if di tɔk nɔ klia, yu fɔ tɛl di dɔktɔ bɔt dat bak.

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

Wetin na di tin dɛn we kin mek pɔsin nɔ ebul fɔ tɔk ɔ tɔk fayn?

Difrɛn rizin dɛn de we mek pɔsin kin delay fɔ tɔk. Sɔm pan dɛn na:

• Ɔral impairment: Fɔ ɛgzampul, prɔblɛm wit di tɔŋ ɔ di palata (di ruf na di mɔt).
• Fɔ shɔt di frenulum (di fold we de dɔŋ di tɔŋ): Dis kin mek di tɔŋ nɔ muv ɛn i kin mek i nɔ izi fɔ kɔl sɔm lɛta dɛn. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl dis bak ‘tɔng-tay’.

Bɔku tɛm, pikin dɛn we nɔ kin ebul fɔ tɔk kin gɛt prɔblɛm wit dɛn mɔt . Dɛn tin ya kin apin we prɔblɛm de na di say dɛn na di bren we de mek pɔsin tɔk.
