Q: My son has a lisp. He pronounces k as t. People say this is normal and that he will improve with time. Is this true? How can I improve his speech? Prakash (Delhi, India) |
A: This is a common problem, be patient. Do not criticize or make fun of your child. Ignore it for the time being. |
Q: My son is 3.5yrs old. He speaks a few words. I have a lisping problem and want to know if he would also have the same lisping or any other speech problem. Madhu (Bangalore, India) |
A: Lisping is not hereditary so there is no need to worry. However, you should try not to lisp in front of him as he would learn the wrong pronunciation. |
