Thanks, 121804. I tried to dm you but I'm not allowed.
Feel free to dm me with the link, if you feel so inclined.
Thanks again.
Sorry for the horrible copy/paste. I cannot directly send it to you b/c it is a site that requires a login (which I had forgotten about), etc.
Anyway, it is a visual/sound based system, so some of it is lost here in translation. The speech pathologist "shows" the sound & also verbally says it. For example, g, she say "gulp" & makes a gulping sound & also has two fingers under her chin so the gulp can be felt.
All I could really do it copy/paste some very basics.
It's a cool concept & wish I could explain it better!!

I think I get the idea. That's really great. I'm going to try that - it looks like fun, too.
This thread reminded me of when my daughter was little. She could say the 'f' sound but not the 'th' sound. Whenever anyone asked her age, she'd say "I'm free".
During cuddle time one afternoon I decided to try and teach her the 'th' sound. She practised and practised - I'm tha-ree, I'm tha-ree. After a few minutes, the sound came out - I'm three, I'm three, I'm three!!! Delighted with her new skill, she skipped off to play in the backyard.
Ten minutes later, a very excited little girl comes rushing back inside. "Mummy, mummy... come and see, come and see! Come and see the throg in the garden!"

That is so funny! Cute story.
My daughter couldn't say an "s" if it was combined with another consonant. Scary was cary and Smarties were Marties. I think she got over that by Kindergarten. Now she's fluent in Spanish and is studying Chinese and Russian. Don't worry too much at that age!
My just 4year old dd cannot pronounce the letters "f" or "v", but uses the sound "s" and "b" in their place.
So instead of saying "five" for example, she says "sibe".
She says everything else perfectly, and I thought she'd grow out of it, but now I'm not so sure.
Is this a normal 4 year old thing or should I start to look into speech therapy?
My 5 year old neice uses "Y" for "L", and "T" for C".
So if she is saying "I like that", she'll say," I yike that". Or "yook at that" instead of "look at that". For Cat, she says Tat. She is hard to understand. And if you repeat what she said, she gets mad, because YOU are the one saying it wrong.
She is an only child, and her parents do not correct her. Because she gets mad. She is spoiled. People gave her so much positive attention for miss-speaking, and thought it was cute when she was 2-3 years old, that she keeps it up.
My son, used to mix up his "V's" and "B's". Each time he mixed them up, I would have him say it the correct way. He speaks just fine.
Some kids need a little steering, while others are just spoiled. And some need speach therapy. See what you can do, yourself, while being patient. If that doesn't work, ask your DR. what to do.
