There's no such thing as lazy speech.

If your child COULD speak correctly then they absolutely would. It's wayyy harder than you think to learn a new sound then remember to say it consistently in your everyday talking. If I told you right now that the word 'and' is now said like "chand" you'd absolutely be able to say that. But you would NOT be able to remember to say 'chand' during your every day conversations, you're too used to saying 'and'. That's what it's like for our kids, PLUS their brains aren't as developed as ours.

So - cut your kid some slack and try these three tips. Remember they're NEVER being lazy and if you're not seeing an improvement, it's probably time for a hearing and speech therapy assessment.
