When children are developing, they can walk slowly and speak, but some babies may not be able to speak clearly at the beginning, leading to stuttering later on. However, there is also a situation where the child has a big tongue, which can cause the child to speak unclearly and unable to speak properly. The problem is quite serious. What should be done if the child has a big tongue? How should we handle it?
What should I do if my child has a big tongue
1. Mild tongue strap short. The tongue of this type of child can extend to the middle of the lips and chin. Generally, as the child grows up, the impact on their pronunciation is minimal, so there is no need to use a surgical knife to shorten the tongue for mild cases.
2. Moderate tongue strap short. This type of child can stick their tongue out of their mouth, but it depends on the actual situation to decide whether to use a knife. If it has little impact on pronunciation and eating, it is also possible not to use a knife. As long as the child's language training is strengthened in the day after tomorrow, it is enough.
3. Severe type with short tongue strap. For this type of child, the tongue cannot extend out of the mouth, and even eating has become a big problem. Therefore, surgery is necessary for severe cases of tongue shortening.
