15 days to cure your child’s lisp
Lying is a condition that occurs in many young children. However, this is not as common as we think. Lying is a language disorder and can lead to many unpredictable consequences.
When her child entered 1st grade, Ms. H. (Ha Dong – Hanoi) was always confident that her child was agile and active at home, so she would definitely be smart in school. However, when the teacher returned the lesson, she suddenly got angry because her son got “-1 point”. My whole Vietnamese writing is red with the teacher’s correction. H.’s baby is confused with the pronunciation of “L” and “N”.
Ms. H. confided: “Since going back to work, I sent my son back to his hometown to live with his grandparents because the couple was too busy. It wasn’t until he entered 1st grade that I picked him up. I thought he would study at home, be active and smart. I was shocked when the teacher sent my child’s Vietnamese test home one day. Only then did I realize that my child was stuttering and confused his pronunciation between “L” and “N”. In the village, my husband has a cleft palate but no one knows how to correct each other.My son has lived in the countryside for a long time, so it is affected.
Since knowing that my child made mistakes in pronouncing “L” and “N”, my wife and I have been aware of the need to soon correct our children to learn how to speak and write correctly. I have researched a lot of books, on the Internet and even experienced people. Fortunately, after 15 days of focusing on raising children, my husband and I succeeded!”.

How Ms. H. cured her child’s slur
– First, parents need to keep their children in a relaxed state of mind, without causing stress or pressure when their children stutter.
When I received a bad grade, Ms. H. knew that I was also very sad. And she realizes that this is not her fault. That’s why, instead of punishing her, she encouraged her son, helping him not to feel self-conscious when he went to class. She shows her that this mistake can be fixed. In addition, she reminded her family members not to laugh and tease the baby when he mispronounced. Not only that, she asked everyone not to imitate her child’s lisp. Because that will make the baby not aware that he has mispronounced, and at the same time make his slurred speech worse.
– Determine the cause of the child’s lisp
Ms. H.’s baby only mispronounced “N” and “L”, so she determined that the cause of her child’s stutter was a social language disorder, not a physiological one. To be sure, she took the baby to the hospital for a check-up. If your child has physiological problems such as full tongue, short tongue, etc., she will also know how to intervene early to help her improve her speaking ability. Fortunately, Ms. H.’s baby was blind due to the influence of adults only.
– Test and screen people you often come into contact with
After determining the cause of her child’s lisp, Ms. H. conducted an examination and screened the people around her child to see if anyone had this habit? Fortunately for Ms. H.’s baby, after going to Hanoi to live with her parents, no one in the house and the neighbors around was livid.
Ms. H. encourages her child to promote her strengths, and at the same time lets her go to crowded places and play with friends to make her more confident. (Illustration)
– Help your child correct the habit of mispronouncing
Ms. H. lists all the words with the first consonant “N” and “L” to guide her child in reading and writing. In addition, she taught her children how to put their tongue, how to breathe, and model for them so that they could follow and practice many times in front of the mirror.
“At first, I still mispronounced a lot and was somewhat depressed and sad. I encouraged her by every time she pronounces correctly and writes correctly, I reward her with a candy she likes. When the child can write the whole sentence correctly, I agree to follow one of his wishes. At the same time, I also praise him in front of the whole family to make him more excited and motivated to study.” – Ms. H. shared.
In the process of talking with her child every day, Ms. H. actively speaks slowly, emphasizing on the words that the child slurred so that the child can remember. She sings or reads sentences with “L” and “N” for the baby to distinguish. Not only that, every day, she points to things that have the first consonant pronunciations “N” and “L” for children to distinguish. For example, a leaf, a pig, orange juice, eat full…
To stimulate the child’s learning, Ms. H. also devised a word puzzle game, guessing objects for the whole family to play. Those objects end up gravitating towards words that have an “L” or “N” pronunciation. In this way, Ms. H. also helps her children increase their vocabulary.
When the child was aware of his pronunciation, she actively invited him to go out and go to crowded places so that he could confidently communicate.
After 15 days of persistence, Ms. H.’s slurred speech leading to misspelling was significantly improved. Now, the baby has a much more standard pronunciation. At the end of last term, I got 9 points in Vietnamese.
“When my child gets the results like today, I feel very happy. And I know she is happy too. Correcting a slur is a process of training that doesn’t take a moment. Especially, parents and relatives. Children must be persistent, calm, not angry when they are wrong, because the more they do, the more scared and pressured they will be. Ms. H. said.
