Lisp in 5 year old?

[AnLeanbh]

Any Speech and Language therapists about?

My just 5 year old still has a lisp on pronouncing " s" sounds as well as substituting "w" for " r" .

We've been hoping she would just grow out of it, so, but am now wondering if this is common , and should I be doing something active?
Any links , or simple exercise that I could be doing with her?Salt around here would have to done privately so v. expensive.

I was only a primary school TA, but at just five I think many children will be like this.

If she is in school, see what staff think, and take it from there.

Not sure about the substitutions but my DD has had quite a bit of ST and they generally don't work with a lisp until age 7 or older.

We started with exercises to work on getting the S sound at the end of words first e.g cheese then progressed to the start of words. She had to do lots of practice in the mirror!
