Hi all,
I’m looking for some reassurance/experiences from other parents.
My daughter is 3 and a half years old and is due to start school in September. I’ve had some concerns about her speech as she isn’t yet forming full sentences consistently.
I spoke to our health visitor who did an assessment and said this can be quite common at this age and isn’t something to worry about right now. She gave us some exercises to work on and is going to check in again in a couple of months.
Nursery haven’t flagged any major concerns either, though they have mentioned she has a lisp and sometimes struggles to pronounce certain words clearly.
She understands what we say and communicates her needs, but her speech isn’t always very clear to others.
I’d love to hear from parents who’ve been in a similar position.
Did your child’s speech just come on with time? Did anyone do speech therapy or specific activities at home that helped?
Thanks in advance 🙂
