DD is 2.5 and has problems with pronunciation. She cant say f,s,sh,ch,th. Should I be worried about this? She genrally has a good vocabulary and comprehension.
I can sometimes get her to say 's' if I really focus on it - getting her to say 'ssss' and then the word e.g. 'ssssss snowman'. But then she reverts back to not pronouncing it properly.
I don't pull her up too much when she misprononuces a word for fear of making her self concious about talking but should I be doing something? She's looked after by me and my MIL who can decipher her speech so I'm also wondering if that affects her motivation to get it right. She doesn't have all her teeth either so dont know if that has anything to do with it.
I'd be grateful for any advice!
