What’s wrong with a three-and-a-half-year-old baby who can’t explain clearly?

What are the reasons why children cannot speak clearly?

1. Normal phenomenon

The main vocal organ of us humans is the larynx, but the vocal cavity located above the larynx, that is, the pharyngeal cavity, oral cavity, and nasal cavity are also very important. If these If the parts are damaged or deformed, speech will be affected to varying degrees. Human language is completed simultaneously by the coordinated activities of the brain and these related organs. It is normal for infants and young children to not speak clearly at first, because the child's brain and vocal organs have not yet reached the same coordination. Parents don't have to rush it, it will be gradually improved in the future. If a child's pronunciation is still unclear at the age of 4-5, it means that the child may have problems with pronunciation and should be examined and treated in time.

2. Improper language training

The common reason for children's unclear speech is improper pronunciation training and a poor language learning environment. Children learn speech through imitation. They observe the adult's mouth, imitate mouth movements, and pay attention to the adult's pronunciation. If the parents themselves have non-standard pronunciation, or if there are several members of the family speaking multiple dialects, the children will have language confusion and lack necessary language training and communication, resulting in language development disorders in the children, and they will naturally speak unclearly.

3. Tongue-tie is caused by being too short

Language-tie is located on the back of the tongue and is a thin layer of tissue connected to the lower palate; tongue-tie is too short What to do if a 3-year-old baby can't speak clearly

Watching the baby grow up day by day is a very happy thing, but unfortunately, when the child turns three and his speech is unclear, parents will inevitably feel I have questions, what’s going on? When can I pronounce it clearly? How to intervene?

From a scientific perspective, there are two main reasons for this situation: acquired factors and congenital factors.

1. Congenital factors: Children's various vocal organs have congenital pathological diseases and defects or partial loss of function. In particular, the central nervous system and vocal organs that control language have various pathological disorders, such as congenital pathological disorders. Sexual and physiological dysplasia, various malformations, cleft lip, cleft palate, congenital intellectual impairment, hearing impairment and brain development disorders, etc.

2. Acquired factors: The functions of these children’s physiological organs for pronunciation are basically completely normal and can meet all the conditions for pronunciation. However, the main reason for inaccurate pronunciation may be that the children make mistakes when they receive language enlightenment. It is caused by pronunciation habits and local dialects caused by the influence of teaching and family environment. Experts have determined that speech disorders such as inaccurate pronunciation caused by acquired factors can be corrected and rehabilitated.
