How to quickly teach a child to speak the letter P

When a child begins to speak, parents have to make a lot of efforts to make the baby pronounce sounds correctly. One of the most difficult is rightly considered the sound of R. Sometimes it lends itself to crumb with difficulty. The task of parents at this time is not to laugh at the burry child, but to help him. How to teach a child to speak the letter P? Now we will tell.

General rules

Usually parents for the time being do not pay much attention to the "French" pronunciation of the child. They start to sound the alarm closer to school. Meanwhile, the sooner they take care of the child, the easier and faster the insidious letter will enter the vocabulary.

Some sources require that the first thing the baby is explained the difference between sounds and letters. Say, in the first grade, the baby will then be easier.

Let's face it: not every adult now knows the difference. Therefore, do not bother your child. By the way, in the first grade, a teacher will explain to you about everything about letters and sounds even without you. So leave the kid a little childhood, study will still have time to bother him. In general, do the letter P, and nothing more.

What to do if the child is not given the letter P at all? Contact a speech therapist. No, it’s not necessary to attend classes regularly. You can save a considerable part of the family budget if you yourself are ready to deal with the baby. But at least once to visit a specialist is worth it. He will identify the problem and tell you in which direction to move.

Tip. Going to a speech therapist is a must. Often, parents in pursuit of the letter P do not notice that the offspring distort other letters.

Turn around right away and leave if the specialist starts to scare you. Allegedly from burr, dysplasias, pathologies and terrible diseases of the brain develop. Such a "speech therapist" just wants to draw more money out of you. Remember, no one was dying from rotacism (the official name for burr). There, the inhabitants of France and Germany are all burrowing. So what? Are all stacks falling and dying from pathologies? And how many people speak English? After all, there is no clear letter R. So, a miserable likeness. Say, too, absolutely everyone suffers from brain diseases? Nonsense.

Look for a good specialist who will give you valuable recommendations on how to teach your child to speak the letter P, and not to tell tales.

By the way, burriness can be from underdevelopment of the bridle. And, if before it had to be cut surgically, now such drastic measures can be avoided. There are many exercises to stretch and develop a bridle painlessly.

Did you know? It turns out that the most severe form of rotacism is the laryngeal (or throat) variant. In this case, it can be very difficult for parents to teach the child to speak the letter P correctly. Here definitely can not do without the help of a speech therapist. Because this is not speech correction, but retraining.

Do not force the offspring to force speech therapy exercises. Choose the time when the baby:

• got enough sleep
• fed
• is healthy
• rested
• in a good mood

Be sure to use the elements of the game to interest the child. Have a dry official language. You can fool around with children, but only on the basis of the recommended classes. And do not overexert the child. Couples once a day for 20-25 minutes are more than enough so that the baby does not develop an aversion to learning.

And further. In addition to special exercises for the letter P, do not discount other lessons on training the entire speech apparatus. After all, only an integrated approach will help you overcome a difficult letter.

Exercises for the letter P

Most of them are designed to develop the tip of the child’s tongue. It is he who is responsible for the correct pronunciation of the letter R. At the same time, other participants in speech should also be engaged: lips, surface of the tongue, cheeks.

Here are the most common and effective exercises:

1. Drummer. The mouth is opened wide, the tip of the tongue is leaned against the base of the upper incisors. We quickly and often pronounce the letter D. At the same time, the tip of the tongue vibrates and almost the letter R.
2. Cab. The mouth is wide open, the tip of the tongue is raised to the upper sky. With force, we exhale sharply through the tip of the tongue. It should be something like a deaf TRRP.
3. Painter. We open our mouth wide, raise the tip of the tongue to the upper sky again. With force, we begin to draw different scribbles with our tongue in the sky. It will be best to drive back and forth and left and right.
4. A horse. The most common clatter. Or clicking the tongue. Remember how you did it in childhood, and show the baby.

Be sure to ensure that the child does not move his lower jaw during training. This is the most common mistake. At first, the baby may not be able to do the workout. Do not despair, after a while everything will turn out perfectly. And there is not far off and the ill-fated letter R.

Tip. Be sure to show the child by your own example, how to put your tongue and lips, how to blow air. In words, sometimes it’s not very clear what needs to be done. And do not forget about the gaming component of the classes.

Exhalation exercises

Such classes are an indispensable attribute of articulatory gymnastics. Because without a strong exhalation, the sound P cannot be pronounced (vibration of the tip of the tongue is needed). By the way, instead of training, you can blow soap bubbles. Or roll a light ball from a ping-pong on the table. Or even try to keep the balloon in the air with one breath without hands. Arrange competitions - who will blow a piece of paper on the table. In a word, develop imagination and expiratory force in your child.

Here are some exercises for this:

1. Naughty. We stick out the tongue, quickly grab it with our lips several times. At the same time, we take a deep exhale.
2. Pendulum. We smile, we open our mouth a little. We stick out the tip of the tongue and drive it from one corner of the lips to the other. Exhale at the same time.
3. Komarik. Slightly open your mouth, stick out the tip of the tongue. We pronounce the letter Z, exhaling strongly air. Now hide the tongue inside. Again we say the long letter Z, and again we exhale.

Speech therapists recommend that parents purchase a special spatula for classes. Using it is very simple. During classes, it is necessary to gently slip the instrument under the child’s tongue and move it left and right. In this way, additional vibration is created at the tip of the tongue. And sometimes the letter R. becomes clearly audible.

Tip. Buy logopedic spatulas designed for children, not for teens or adults. They have a more accurate form. And they smell deliciously like fruit, candy or chocolate.

Valuable recommendations

Sometimes this happens: parents catch on and begin to molest a child without any training and gymnastics of the speech apparatus. They demand uttering whole poems or even tongue twisters. The child is frightened, closes in himself.

What can be achieved with such exercises, except for the offense of the baby? Nothing. To get started, preheat your speech muscles with additional exercises. And only then try to master a complex letter.

By the way, speech therapists advise you first to learn how to pronounce the sound P separately. Then you need to learn how to growl for a long time. And only after that you can move on to whole words, sentences. Well, if a child ahead of time began to confidently speak the letter P in everyday speech, then you should not stop him. After all, your baby was clever than you thought. Let it run into plenty.

Some grandparents remember very well how they poisoned their peers with speech defects. They can begin to intimidate the grandson, promising all heavenly punishments and a boycott from other children. Stop such conversations in the bud so that you forget to think and talk nonsense. Do not understand in a good way? Explain in a grosser form. Now there are so many children with incorrect pronunciation that most peers simply do not pay attention to speech defects. And no one has long been laughing at a burry or lisping classmate.

Watch your child’s pronunciation carefully. Sometimes it happens that the baby successfully overcomes the soft letter P, but the hard one is not given in any way. In your own example, show offspring the correct sound. Let him look into your mouth, let him see how to hold the tip of his tongue and lips. After all, everyone knows that children are very fond of repeating after adults. Use it for good.

It is very convenient to do this in front of the mirror. For example, tell your child that you are monkeys today. Therefore, they should grimace. But not just like that. How exactly - a speech therapist will tell. You can also find many exercises on the Internet.

Exercise with your child every day. At any convenient time. You can even cook in the kitchen, but do not hatch on the TV, but play with the baby in words. More often use in your speech words with the letter R. And not only during exercise. You can even imagine yourself with a child as a lion family, growl at an imaginary enemy, or at each other. But how many opportunities do loving and caring parents have?

Do not forget to praise the baby for any, even the smallest victory over the insidious letter R. Never compare the child with other children. He is your one and only favorite.

How to teach a child to speak the letter P? Remember - this is not a matter of one day. Show perseverance and patience. Exercise with the child regularly, but not intrusively. Follow the recommendations of speech therapists. And you will succeed. Soon the offspring will growl no worse than a tiger cub.
