to make my DS pronounce his 't's?

DS has come back from school without the 'T' sound I sent him with.

I have been correcting him.

He says that the children at school don't say water. They way 'war-ar'.

I told him I want him to speak properly. He then goes on to speculate on why the children don't say their Ts.

I am leading him into a judgement on these other children, and 'their mummies and daddies' that I am not comfortable with.

It's not an 'accent' thing, it's just lazy speech IMO.

AIBU to insist he pronounce his Ts?

vicks71 I get him to look at where my tongue is when I say 'th' then he copies me and can say it :)
