What mistakes of adults badly affect the development of speech of preschoolers

The child's speech develops as if by itself, when he imitates his parents. And this is the catch.

Often adults make mistakes that negatively affect development speeches a child - and they themselves do not notice.

What problems may be with the speech of a preschooler:
Pronounces sounds incorrectly or indistinctly
Constantly speaks "in the nose"
Speaks too slowly or vice versa quickly
Thinks for a long time and chooses words to express a thought
Can't match words in a sentence correctly

Here are the most common mistakes adults make that cause speech problems in children.

1. Themselves speak too slow or too fast

If one of the parents has such a defect, then there is a high probability of passing it on to the child. And this is not just "heredity", but a sufficient reason to consult a speech therapist.

2. The family hardly communicates

If a child hears from parents only clarification of some momentary everyday issues, then his vocabulary does not develop and does not replenish, he does not learn to form a thought in words, to express his opinion.

As a result, in order, for example, to answer a question or to tell something, a child has to choose words for a long time.

3. Deliberately distort the words

Many parents and other relatives are engaged in this. Wanting to be closer to the baby, they repeat the words that he, due to age and other characteristics, pronounces incorrectly.

The child, in turn, begins to think that such pronunciation is the norm - and distorts the words even more.

Then he transfers this habit from home to the playground, to the kindergarten, etc., consolidating it more and more.

4. Doesn't admit to having a problem

Out of love for the child, parents may not admit that he has speech problems. Like, it will outgrow and everything will work out.

But many defects that are in speech after 3-4 years run the risk of staying with the baby for a long time, if they are not corrected together with a specialist. "Outgrow" only works up to 3 years.
