But when we took Duncan to the dentist the first couple of times, the hygienist commented that he was tongue-tied and were we aware of that? Um, yes. Anyway, we never did anything about it. I don't know what happens but they seem to grow out of it. Maybe it stretches?? Obviously I have no idea. My boys did both have trouble with their ls and rs until maybe ages 7. Come to think about it, Duncan might still have trouble with his Rs--or it might be habit. I'll have to listen to him.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, whatever you do, it'll be fine!Sarah at SmallWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306137253094526922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205638349500580705.post-57903053506741728332009-02-10T20:11:00.000-09:002009-02-10T20:11:00.000-09:00Funny your worrying about this today; we just had ...Funny your worrying about this today; we just had Morgan evaluated by the speech pathologist at the elementary school. She has had tubes in her ears since she was 18 months. At that point the ENT surgeon said she had had only 50% of her hearing. She hears fine now but hasn't been pronouncing some sounds. I decided to call 'just to see' and the lady said it was a good thing to do since kids that can't pronounce, can't recognize sounds and have a harder time associating letters for reading. <BR/>Long comment, short, clipping may be hard for you to do but may help her in the long run, not only with speech but also with reading.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241019601015255068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205638349500580705.post-48225225474767866762009-02-10T14:02:00.000-09:002009-02-10T14:02:00.000-09:00I never had the frenulum to deal with...but I did ...I never had the frenulum to deal with...but I did have a daughter who stuttered for a time...and my son couldn't say his 'rrr's' -- both of which gave me concern. Over some time, and parent coaching of slowing one down, and emphasizing the 'rrr's' with the other, they both speak normally.<BR/><BR/>All that to say, I share your mom's heart...and will be praying for wisdom for you all...
