Some babies may have learned to speak, but they still have difficulty pronouncing words clearly, and some babies may still have this symptom when they reach the age of starting kindergarten, which can be very distressing for parents. So, why can't a three-year-old and seven month old baby speak clearly?
1. Check if there are any abnormalities in the baby's auditory organs. If a baby has abnormal hearing, they may not be able to distinguish and imitate others' speech well, which can cause many pronunciation errors. Therefore, it is necessary to take the baby to check if this reason exists.
2. It is also necessary to check whether there are defects in the vocal organs, such as short frenulum of the tongue. Because the frenulum of the tongue is too short, it will involve the tip of the tongue in a W-shaped pattern, which makes it difficult for the tip of the tongue to curl up, especially when producing rolled tongue sounds. So it is also necessary to check if the baby has a short frenulum, and if so, surgical treatment is needed.
3. It is also important to be vigilant for any abnormal brain development that may lead to intellectual disability. Because human thinking and speech are governed by the brain. If the baby's brain development is abnormal, it can cause speech disorders and unclear speech. So parents should also be alert to the presence of this disease in their babies. In any case, regardless of the reason for the baby's unclear speech, it is necessary to promptly check and treat the baby in order to ensure their healthy growth.
