[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 yo does this. I think he's imitating me when I slow down and try to enunciate things clearly for him. [/quote] Stop doing this. Pretty much every ST my kids had this as a pet peeve. Just talk normally. That's how kids learn.[/quote] Not any speech therapist my kid has had. Correct it.[/quote] No. You model appropriate speech, “Model words for your children so they can imitate your speech, but don’t ask kids to repeat themselves when they’ve mispronounced something.” http://www.metrokids.com/MetroKids/March-2012/How-To-Identify-Speech-Problems/ Ooooover eeenunciating is not modeling and just plain aaaaaanoying. Get out of the habit.[/quote]
