Rule # 1: socialize with the diaper
Even if your child is only a month old, talk to him as often as you can. Sing songs, comment on his actions with words, tell rhymes, reason with him.
Of course, not every mother will be able to devote so much time to the baby, but the fact that it is necessary to talk with the child from the first days of life is a fact.
Rule # 2: don't lisp
When talking to your child, do not lisp with him. Even if he is very small.
Rule # 3: wean off wrong words, even if they're funny
If your child pronounces words incorrectly, correct the child. Just do it carefully. Don't let the wrong words get stuck in your baby's speech.

Rule number 4: do fun exercises for the speech apparatus
When the child is very young, teach him to convey the sounds that different animals and birds pronounce: moo-oo-oo, kar, quack-quack, woof-woof, etc. These short syllables are rich in facial expressions and phonetics.
Teach your child to click, whistle and click, reach with the tip of the tongue to the tip of the nose, puff out the cheeks, and make the uvula a tube.
Sometimes letting your tongue lick jam or condensed milk off the saucer is a great exercise for your tongue.
Rule number 5: learn sounds and letters before school
Teach your child to pronounce sounds and letters clearly before school. This is important because at school, children begin to learn phonetics.
