My dd has a lisp. She has always had it and I have never drawn attention to it, but we do do exercises every so often (surrupticiously) (sp!) to try and correct it (to no avail). She has a mixed accent as I have no accent and her father is very broad yorkshire, so she has some yorkshire vowels, and this lisp. Recently I have noticed not only older children teasing her, but adults imitating her speech to me and laughing, or saying "haha, doesn't she sound funny!". I feel so and . What can I do? She is 4 and starting to pick up on it. Got to go to work but will be back on at 3.30, thank you xx
