Hi,
Can anyone point me towards an outline of when children are expected to pick up and start using particular sounds in their speech?
For background, DS will be 3 next month, and his speech is fairly clear in that I understand him most of the time, however he often misses the first sound in a word, or substitutes sounds eg b instead of d and so on. He normally has the right general word sound, but sometimes has to repeat himself several times while DH and I run through the possibilities to work out what he actually said.
He was born 2 months prematurely, although discharged by neonatal with no obvious concerns just after his 2nd birthday. He has an older sister who had uncommonly clear speech from an early age, so I am very wary of comparing the two of them!
Thanks.
