It seems to suggest here that it can mean problems if your child does this at all. My son is only 20 months but he says Gok for duck and Gog for dog as well as a few other examples. Is this a worrisome thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/typical-speech-development#post-1577157 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:14:44 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1577157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So so interesting - thanks for posting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/typical-speech-development#post-1577145 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:03:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 1577145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very interesting!

I know we all have questions about our LO's speech development. Is it normal that my two year old says "tat" for "cat"? My 5 year old still calls it a "wabbit", is that ok?</p> <p>When kids learn speech, they develop phonological processes, which are just simplifications of adult speech patterns. These processes, such as using a "t" sound for a "k" sound, or dropping sounds from ends of words, are a normal part of development. Speech therapy comes into play when these processes don't disappear by a certain age. So while it's normal for a 4 year old to still call a "lamp" a "wamp", I'd be working on this with a 6/7 year old to try and fix it. </p> <p>This is a chart from the website Mommy Speech Therapy that shows all the processes that can be apparent in a young child's speech.</p> <p><a href="http://mommyspeechtherapy.com/wp-content/downloads/forms/phonological_processes.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://mommyspeechtherapy.com/wp-content/downloads/forms/phonological_processes.pdf</a></p> <p>At any rare, I hope this is helpful to some of you! </p>
